Abstract
Middle school students are known to have high levels of math anxiety. According to the need for test tools that reflect the characteristics of today's middle school students, it was intended to develop a mathematical anxiety test for middle school students. Sub-factors of mathematical anxiety were established based on prior research and questions corresponding to each factor were produced. The suitability and validity of the questions were analyzed through two pilot tests. Then some of the questions were revised. This test was conducted on 255 middle school students using the revised questions, and the validity and reliability of the test tools were analyzed on 246 student responses. The final developed test tool consisted of 6 sub-factors and a total of 36 questions, and was intended to provide students, teachers, and parents with information about students' mathematical anxiety by providing criteria for the degree of anxiety.
