Abstract

Pupils in primary schools faced as much daunting and foreboding experiences in Maths. Maths anxiety and attitude towards Mathematics are psychological indicator of poor Maths problem solving skills. This study investigated the relationship between Maths anxiety, attitude towards Maths and Maths problem-solving skills among primary pupils in Kedah state. A questionnaire was developed based on Math Anxiety Questionnaire Children, Attitudes Towards Problem-Solving Skills and a Mathematical problem-solving test administered to 450 primary school pupils. Data were analysed using IBM Statistics and Smart-PLS version 4 software. Results indicated that Maths anxiety and attitude towards Mathematics had a direct influence on Math problem solving.. This research highlighted Maths anxiety as an important factor on Maths problem solving skills as well as pupils’ attitudes towards Mathematics, and teachers should consider this factor an important construct to consider when examining sources of individual differences in Math problem solving skills.

吉打州小学生数学焦虑、数学态度与数学解题能力之关系

小学生在数学方面也面临着同样多的令人生畏和不祥的经历。数学焦虑和数学态度是数学解题能力差的心理指标。本研究旨在调查吉打州小学生的数学焦虑、数学态度与数学解决问题能力之间的关系。以《儿童数学焦虑问卷》、《对问题解决能力的态度》和《数学问题解决能力测试》为基础，对450名小学生进行了问卷调查。使用IBM Statistics和Smart-PLS version 4软件对数据进行分析。结果表明，数学焦虑和数学态度对数学问题的解决有直接影响。本研究强调数学焦虑是影响数学问题解决能力和学生对数学态度的一个重要因素，教师在考察数学问题解决能力的个体差异来源时，应该把这一因素作为一个重要的考虑因素。
