Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? One-way ANOVA shows significant math anxiety differences across the four achievement groups (F(3,284)=36.584, p=.000). → Yılmaz Mutlu 2019
q3 i? Tukey post hoc tests show the MLD group's anxiety differed from NA and HA groups but not from the LA group. → Yılmaz Mutlu 2019 (2)
Evidence¶
Yılmaz Mutlu 2019¶
Yılmaz Mutlu. (2019). Math Anxiety in Students With and Without Math Learning Difficulties. International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education, 11(5), 471-475. https://doi.org/10.26822/iejee.2019553343
q3 · i? · associational · r1
One-way ANOVA comparing math anxiety scores of four achievement groups (MLD 0-10%, LA 11-25%, NA 26-95%, HA 96-100%) classified by achievement test scores. "a statistically significant difference between groups" was found, F(3,284)= 36.584, p= .000.
"there is a statistically significant difference between groups as determined at the p<.05 level by one-way ANOVA (F(3,284)= 36.584, p= .000)"
Yılmaz Mutlu 2019 (2)¶
Yılmaz Mutlu. (2019). Math Anxiety in Students With and Without Math Learning Difficulties. International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education, 11(5), 471-475. https://doi.org/10.26822/iejee.2019553343
q3 · i? · associational · r1
Tukey post hoc comparisons following the significant ANOVA. The MLD group (M= 1.96) differed significantly from the NA and HA groups; the quote continues that the MLD group "did not significantly differ from the LA group (M= 1.76, sd= 0.27)".
"Post hoc comparisons using the Tukey test indicated that the mean score for MLD group ( M= 1.96, sd= 0.30) was significantly different than the NA group ( M= 1.41, sd= 0.84) and HA group (M= 1.24, sd= 0.28)."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Academic Anxiety — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
- Affect Regulation — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
Related Claims¶
- High achievers show the lowest math anxiety and MLD students the highest across achievement groups — related
- Children with MLD report higher learning mathematics anxiety than LA, TA, and HA peers, but not higher evaluation anxiety — reports the opposite
- Children with MLD score lower in self-image than typical and high achievers when IQ is partialled out — related
