Creating online videos to help students to overcome exam anxiety in statistics class
Page: 1014
In this poster I would like to share my ideas on how to help students overcome math anxiety, exam anxiety in particular. Math anxiety is reported to be a major learning obstacle for many students at various levels of learning mathematics; students worry about outcomes of in-class assessments, especially exams. Instructors typically place a lot of weight on exams, so students fear that if they do poorly their grade will go down. This is known as exam anxiety; not necessarily math test anxiety, but putting the two together would certainly multiply students’ stress. In this poster I would like to illustrate how videos can be utilized to ease math test anxiety and help improve students’ overall performance in math classrooms.
