Jonah Mutua; Samuel Obara – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2025
Researchers have conducted numerous studies on the positive effects of intrinsic motivation to learn mathematics and the negative impact of mathematics anxiety on students' performance in mathematics literacy. The study examined how the introduction of cognitive activation in mathematics lessons, a mediator variable, would alter these effects…

Immekus, Jason C.; Jeong, Tai-sun; Yoo, Jin Eun – Large-scale Assessments in Education, 2022
Large-scale international studies offer researchers a rich source of data to examine the relationship among variables. Machine learning embodies a range of flexible statistical procedures to identify key indicators of a response variable among a collection of hundreds or even thousands of potential predictor variables. Among these, penalized…

This volume of PISA examines the readiness of students to engage with learning strategies, to be motivated to learn and to be confident in their abilities and in their capacity to improve their skills and knowledge. Countries like Korea have reduced mathematics anxiety, Portugal excels in critical thinking, and more low-performing students in…

Demirkol, Sinem – Online Submission, 2022
Purpose: Achievement in mathematics and reading is a function of many interrelated variables. Therefore, it is important to identify and compare the variables that affect success in these areas. The aim of this study is to examine the characteristics that are thought to be effective on achievement scores in reading and mathematics. Method: The…

Jerrim, John – Oxford Review of Education, 2023
A long-established literature has found that anxiety about testing is negatively related to academic achievement. Yet there remains some debate as to whether this is simply due to less academically able pupils being more likely to develop education-related anxiety issues. This paper presents new evidence on this matter, focusing upon how test…

Lisa De Bortoli; Catherine Underwood – Australian Council for Educational Research, 2025
The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) is an international comparative study that assesses how well 15-year-olds, who have nearly completed compulsory schooling in most participating educational systems, can use their knowledge and skills to meet real-world opportunities and challenges. In each cycle of PISA, students are…

Simiao Liu; Frederick K. S. Leung; Zheng Jiang – Asia Pacific Journal of Education, 2024
As mathematics anxiety could result in students' low performance and impact their well-being, it is necessary for both researchers and educators to understand what causes mathematics anxiety and what moderates these effects. Based on the control-value theory, the present study proposed a framework that students' mathematics anxiety was triggered…

Bradley Hayes – ProQuest LLC, 2024
This dissertation in practice explores the intersection of computer science education, specifically computational thinking and programming, with mathematics achievement among 15- year-old students in selected English-speaking countries. The research addresses a gap in understanding whether skills developed through computer science can positively…

Zhu, Shi; Meyer, Patrick – Asia-Pacific Education Researcher, 2022
According to PISA 2012, mathematics self-beliefs involve three dimensions: mathematics self-efficacy, mathematics self-concept and mathematics anxiety. This study utilized the multiple indicators, multiple causes (MIMIC) method, an approach for detecting whether there is a lack of measurement invariance or differential item functioning (DIF), to…

Liu, Yue; Wang, Chuang; Liu, Jian; Liu, Hongyun – Educational Psychology, 2022
The primary goals of this study are to investigate if cognitive activation increases mathematics self-efficacy, which in turn alleviates anxiety and to examine the moderating role of internal migrant status. Hierarchical linear models and multilevel structural equation models were employed to datasets of 3088 fourth graders from 57 classrooms in…

Yuanhua Wang – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2024
While scholars and educators have increasingly recognized the importance of mathematics learning, many students suffer from anxiety. Therefore, educators and students demand more knowledge to reduce math anxiety's negative impacts effectively. This study explores the underlying mechanisms by which math anxiety affects students' learning efforts,…

Nele Claes; Annique Smeding; Arnaud Carré; Nicolas Sommet – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2024
We conducted three preregistered studies using the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) data to provide a worldwide estimation of the standardized test gap between students from lower and higher social classes. We investigated: (a) the degree to which academic anxiety…

OECD Publishing, 2024
How prepared are students for life-long learning? Students learn many things at school, but one of the most crucial is learning how to learn. For students to continue learning independently beyond the classroom, three key aspects are essential: understanding effective learning strategies, staying motivated to learn, and having confidence in their…

Cox, Jennifer; Jacobson, Erik – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2020
Although gender differences in mathematics are smaller than they have been in the past, prominent voices still attribute these differences to a variety of fixed individual factors, such as genetic characteristics of men and women. We hold the alternative view that these differences can be ultimately attributed to malleable factors. From this…
