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 i0 Teacher math anxiety did not predict either the human coding or computer coding index of usable teaching knowledge, and usable knowledge did not predict student perceptions of teacher fixed mindset. → Ramirez Gerardo 2018

Null path analysis in the same sample using the Classroom Video Analysis instrument, scored by trained raters and machine learning. The article reports non-significant paths (b = −0.61, p = .59; b = −1.41, p = .39) and concludes the anxiety–mindset link is "independent of how much usable mathematical teaching knowledge teachers have."
"Using two indexes of the CVA, we found that teacher math anxiety does not predict either the human coding index or the computer coding index of teachers' usable mathematical teaching knowledge, b = −0.61, p = .59 and b = −1.41, p = .39."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- 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
- 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 is associated with lower ninth-grade math GPA, controlling for prior achievement and student mindset
