Online approaches to learning and math anxiety

Abstract

Putting math anxiety aside can lead to deliberate avoidance of math-intensive educational programs. Previous research on math anxiety interventions overlooked the potential of online modules based on proficiency learning to reduce math anxiety. This study was conducted to the Accounting and Business Management (ABM) and Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS), Senior High school students of UM Panabo College. The data was collected and analyzed quantitatively. The result shows that majority of the students have been able to handle their mathematics anxiety in all the said domains. Furthermore, the results revealed that the level of math anxiety is in moderate level, thus online approaches to learning is helpful for the students who has math anxieties. Therefore, it is suggested to have more of a interactive approach of online learning especially in mathematics.
