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? Teacher math anxiety had a significant inverse effect on ninth-grade math GPA (b = -.16, p = .007) after covariates, regardless of student prior achievement and mindset. → Ramirez Gerardo 2018

q3 · i? · associational · r2
SEM path analysis of National Mindset Study control-group data (1,886 ninth-grade students, 60 math teachers, 11 high schools), with school fixed effects and clustered standard errors. The article reports "a significant inverse effect on ninth-grade math GPA" with b = –.16, p = .007. No standardized effect size is printed.
"With covariates, teacher anxiety had a significant inverse effect on ninth-grade math GPA, b = –.16, p = .007, 95% CI [–.27, –.04]. Higher teacher math anxiety was associated with worse math GPA among students regardless of student prior achievement and mindset."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- In the full model, teacher math anxiety relates to lower ninth-grade GPA through a chain of reduced process-oriented practices and students' perceptions of a teacher fixed mindset — related
- Higher teacher math anxiety relates to fewer process-oriented teaching practices as reported by students, which partially explains students' perception of the teacher's fixed mindset — related
- Students' perceptions of their teacher's fixed mindset partially mediate the relationship between teacher math anxiety and student math achievement — related
- Teachers' usable mathematical teaching knowledge does not explain the relationship between teacher math anxiety and students' perceptions of teacher fixed mindset
