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.

Nowadays technological instruments are advanced to measure brain waves called EEG. Also, it is important to find some facts that cause students to have mathematic anxiety (MA) and to provide remedy programs to lessen their MA in order to help students cure MA that could contribute to negative self-efficacy toward mathematics and mathematical learning. To find how they change the MA level, a small group of 11 high school students in Suwon city participated for ten weeks at the remedy program based on students' levels of MA diagnosed by MASS instrument (Ko, & Yi, 2011) and proofread by 8 advisors who worked in related research areas. The results showed that the remedy program was effective to lessen students' MA and it should provide a long term period since some negative experiences were accumulated for a long time of his or her past schooling by others such as teachers, peers, and parents. EEG showed that students got better scores on a percent of correct answers and a reaction time and some student' EEG from a group HMA became smaller heights and width in comparison of the other groups.

The purpose of this study is to collect basic data for the development of first aid education program for Chinese international students studying in Korea. From September 2015 to May 2016, on the subjects of 175 Chinese international students, their first aid knowledge, education needs and self efficacy were identified using structured questionnaires. As a result, only 5.4% of Chinese international students received first aid education in Korea. Their knowledge of first aid was 0.16 points out of the total 1 point and self efficacy was 2.60 points out of the total 5 points. Also, the educational needs of the subjects were relatively high at 3.37 points out of the total 5 points. In conclusion, it is said that it is necessary to develop a first aid education program to raise the knowledge level and self efficacy of first aid for Chinese international students, and to meet their education needs. To increase the effectiveness of first aid training programs for Chinese international students, it is necessary to strengthen education contents of areas where knowledge and self efficacy were low and education needs were high in program development, and the group of subjects with low knowledge level and self efficacy are required to have special care and attention.

Mathematics anxiety is likely to be a drag on mathematics learning if that is left alone, and it is important to grasp the cause of mathematics anxiety and devise how to get rid of it. The purpose of this study was to examine the cause of mathematics anxiety among elementary school children, to develop a math-friendly activity program geared toward easing mathematics anxiety and to check the effect of the developed program on the alleviation of mathematics anxiety. The subjects in this study were 32 students in a fourth-grade class in I elementary school located in Dongdaemoon-gu, Seoul. A math-friendly activity program was designed to alleviate the mathematics anxiety of the five subfactors-test anxiety, time constraints, comprehension, learning motivation and parent attitude-on which the students scored higher than their pretest collective averages. The mathematics anxiety pretest data, the objectives and content system of the current 7th national mathematics curriculum and the mathematics textbooks for 4-A and 4-B were analyzed to develop the math-friendly activity program that consisted of psychological remedy (positive thinking training) and non-psychological remedy (mathematics activities). After the program was implemented, we analyze the pretest and posttest mathematics anxiety data to determine the effect of the program. As a result, the collective averages of every student on math anxiety and its subfactors were lower in the posttest than in the pretest.
