The Effect of Mathematics Anxiety Interventions on Mathematics Achievement: A Meta-Analysis
Page: 1074
Mathematics anxiety is detrimental to student achievement in math. This study uses a meta- analysis to investigate the effectiveness of various mathematics anxiety interventions on improving mathematics achievement of college students. We include intervention studies on college math classrooms with quantitative measures of both mathematics anxiety and achievement. Only RCTs and QEDs written in English are included. We use ERIC as a database. 8 studies were included in the extraction involving 800 participants. Studies generally indicated a moderately positive effect of math anxiety interventions on math achievement (p = 0.00124).
