Abstract

Abstract

Mathematics anxiety and classroom participation in mathematics are two potential variables which may impact on learning achievement in mathematics in different ways.

Aim of the study

This study aimed to find out the impact of mathematics anxiety on learning achievement and classroom participation in mathematics of upper primary students.

Methodology

200 students of classes VII and VIII (WBBSE) were selected through stratified randomly sampling method form urban and rural areas of Kolkata and South 24 parganas districts. Mathematics Anxiety Scale and Mathematics Classroom Participation Scale were used to collect data. Appropriate statistical techniques were used to obtain the results.

Results

Level of mathematics anxiety of girls is higher than boys, learning achievement in mathematics of boys is higher than girls, impact of mathematics anxiety on the classroom participation of boys is higher than girls, significant difference does exist in the mathematics anxiety of students in respect to location, learning achievement in mathematics differs significantly with respect to location (urban and rural areas) and mathematics anxiety differs significantly with type of schools (government sponsored and private) and learning achievement in mathematics differs significantly with type of schools (government sponsored and private).
