Abstract

In many studies, mathematics anxiety (MA) is a major factor affecting students' mathematical achievement (MC) and is reported to have a greater negative effect on female students. In the study, we developed a complex treatment program consisting of 10 lesson units, to reduce mathematic anxiety and applied it to 26 male and female students with high MA. For this purpose, we analyzed the differences between the two gender groups collected by the Math Anxiety Scale for Students(MASS) and Mathematical Achievement Scale(MCS) before and after. As a result of the treatment program, MA was decreased in both groups, but only female students scored higher in MC. The program that had been effective for both boys and girls in MA satisfied the main purpose of which was to treat MA with integrated mathematical and psychological aspects, and implied that additional procedures and guidance should be followed for boys' MC.

여러 연구에서 수학불안(MA)은 학생들의 수학교과에서의 성취도(MC)에 영향을 미치는 주요 요인이며 여학생집단에 더 크게 작용하는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 수학불안을 감소하기 위한 10차시 복합적 처치프로그램을 개발하고, 이를 비교적 MA가 높은 남녀 학생 26명에게 적용하여 그 효과를 조사하는 것이다. 이를 위해 사전, 사후에 수학불안검사지(MASS)와 성취도검사지(MCS)에 의해 수집한 두 성차집단에 대한 차이점을 분석하였다. 연구결과로서 처치프로그램을 통해 두 집단 모두 MA는 감소하였으나 MC에서는 여학생만이 효과를 나타내었다. 이 프로그램은 학생들의 수학적과 심리적 측면에 통합적으로 작용하게 되어 주 목적인 MA의 감소에서 남녀 학생 모두에게 효과적이었으며, 남학생의 MC측면에서 더 부가적인 절차와 안내가 따라야한다는 것을 내포한다.
