Student's anxiety level towards mathematics: Basis for intervention program

This study, entitled Students’ Anxiety Level Towards Mathematics: Basis for Intervention Program, investigated Math anxiety among Liceo de Pagsanjan students via pre-interviews with teachers and students, utilizing random sampling of Grade 10 sections. The respondents of the study were composed of sixty-eight (68) Grade 10 students at Liceo de Pagsanjan. A quantitative method with online questionnaires was employed, analyzing data using Pearson r correlation and Chi-Squared correlation analysis to measure the anxiety level of the grade 10 students towards Mathematics. As the responses from the online questionnaires were converted into data, the mean, Pearson r, and chi-squared correlation analysis were used for statistical treatment. Significant links were found between students' experiences and Math anxiety, emphasizing the need for comprehensive support networks. This suggests that students' experiences have an impact on their anxiety levels about the subject. The significant relationship between experiences at home, school, and among peers underscores the need for comprehensive support networks.  The "Math Anxiety Termination Program" (MATP) was proposed to address issues. However, Chi-Squared analysis showed no significant correlation between demographic factors and Math anxiety levels. Recommendations include tailored interventions and enhancing communication in a supportive environment.
In light of the findings and conclusion, some recommendations, such as building upon the findings of this study and developing their own action plan or intervention program tailored to addressing math anxiety and making programs aimed at enhancing student communication and empathy, can also be adopted, creating a supportive environment where individuals feel heard and valued for their perspectives.
