A Comparison of Preservice Teachers' Mathematics Anxiety before and after a Methods Class Emphasizing Manipulatives.
Vinson, Beth McCulloch
Early Childhood Education Journal, v29 n2 p89-94 Win 2001
Investigated changes in mathematics anxiety among future teachers in two mathematics materials and methods classes incorporating Bruner's framework of developing conceptual knowledge before procedural knowledge and the use of mathematics manipulatives. Pretest-posttest comparisons showed significant reductions in overall mathematical anxiety, except among fall quarter classes. Students experiencing increased anxiety had never used manipulatives with mathematics. (Author/KB)
