A Study on The Mathematics Anxiety on Secondary School Students

In the process of developing country by the year 2020, science, mathematics and technology have become an emphasis in the education system. However, the mathematics performance among students as early as in the primary institutions up to the higher level institution is still a major issue. Most of them think mathematics course is tough paper, difficult to learn, very complex, hard to pass out and so on. These entire negative thinking always interposes to the mathematical anxiety. The impact of mathematics anxiety contrasts based on each individual student. Students who suffer from higher levels of mathematics anxiety, they develop negative attitudes and emotions toward mathematics. By the time the students participate in mathematics courses, their attitudes toward mathematics are relatively constant; the students with mathematics anxiety are more likely to dodge taking mathematics courses in their future studies. Perhaps the most difficult outcome of mathematics anxiety is a decreased level of mathematical achievement in the present era.
