Mathematics Anxiety with Reference to Learning-Style among the School Students

Abstract The objective of the study is to explore the level of ‘mathematics anxiety’ with ‘learning-style’ and to find out how mathematics anxiety has an impact over the above spelt attribute in school level drawn from a sample group students from Govt. Aided and Govt. Sponsored schools in the North 24 Parganas district of West Bengal. Cluster sampling followed by stratified random sampling technique was applied to collect data by administering two sets of standardized scales concerning different variables. By nature, the data were quantitative and analyzed through ANOVA. The analysis reveals that the importance to consider and thereby essential address learning-style individually to reduce issues like mathematics anxiety among the school students and while gender and interaction between these two factors may not play a crucial role. The analysis reveals that it is essential to consider and thereby address the learning-style independently to mitigate issues like mathematics anxiety; on the other hand, as the study observed, location of schools and its interaction with ‘learning-style’ may not play a crucial role. The study reveals that both ‘mathematics anxiety’ and ‘learning-style’ are important factors and play critical role in studying mathematics among the school students.
