QUANTIFYING MATHEMATICS ANXIETY: DEVELOPMENT OF A SCALE AND EXPLORING SUBCATEGORIES THROUGH FACTOR ANALYSIS
Keywords:
Abstract
This research introduces a newly developed Mathematics Anxiety Scale designed to quantify the diverse dimensions of anxiety associated with mathematical tasks. Through the application of factor analysis, the study explores and identifies subcategories within the scale, offering a nuanced understanding of distinct facets of mathematics anxiety. The scale undergoes rigorous psychometric evaluation, ensuring reliability and validity. This tool not only contributes to a more comprehensive assessment of mathematics anxiety but also serves as a valuable instrument for educators and researchers. The findings illuminate specific areas of concern, providing targeted insights to inform interventions and support mechanisms in educational settings. The research thus contributes to the ongoing discourse on mental well-being in academic contexts and aims to enhance the effectiveness of strategies addressing mathematics anxiety.
