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.
