ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to investigate the difference, relationship and prediction of the math environment with math anxiety in school students. The subjects of this study consisted of elementary(361), middle(932) and high school(1,111) students in a metropolitan area. "Mathematics Socialization Experience Scale” by Jung(2002) and the "Mathematics Anxiety Test Tool" by Hoe (1996) was used for measuring the mathematical environment and mathematical anxiety. The collected data were analyzed by using the SPSS 25.0 statistics program. The data were also tested with Pearson correlation analysis, multiple regression, and ANOVA. The results of this study are as follows; firstly, the math environment and math anxiety have significant differences according to the school level. Secondly, the math environment and math anxiety have a significant relationship with each other in subfactors. Finally, the regression analyses demonstrated that math environments’sub-factors were significant predictors of math anxiety. These results can a suggestive foundation for both parents and teachers who guide students in the field of math learning.
