Why High School Students Feel Mathematics Difficult? An Exploration of Affective Beliefs (2015, background): “Scarpello (2007) reports that seventy-five percent of Americans stop the study of mathematics and stay away from many careers that related to mathematics.”
The Anti-Anxiety Curriculum: Combating Math Anxiety in the Classroom (2010, background): “If we can assume that these differences are not a result of native potential, or some sort of genetic mathematical ability, then we must look for environmental variables to explain the intertwining outcomes of poor achievement and negative attitude toward mathematics (Alsup, 2005; Hopko et al., 2003”
Learning environment, attitudes and anxiety across the transition from primary to secondary school mathematics (2019, background): “Several studies also suggest that mathematics anxiety can begin at an early age (Aarnos and Perkkila 2012; Jackson and Leffingwell 1999; Ramirez et al. 2013; Scarpello 2007).”
Addressing math anxiety in the classroom (2014, methodology): “With this approach, teachers begin to focus on repetition and speed or ‘timed tests’ as important tools for improving mathematical prowess and skills (Popham, 2008; Scarpello, 2007; Thilmany, 2004; Tsui & Mazzocco, 2007).”
