Math Anxiety: Past Research, Promising Interventions, and a New Interpretation Framework (2018, background): “Community colleges typically serve a greater percentage of low-income, nontraditional, and minority students than other 4-year universities (Provasnik & Planty, 2008), and because enrollment is less competitive, community colleges also serve students with more variability in math skill.”
