Hiller, Suzanne E.; Kitsantas, Anastasia; Cheema, Jehanzeb E.; Poulou, Maria – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
Prior research has suggested that mathematics specific anxiety and self-efficacy are strong predictors of mathematics performance. The purpose of this study was to examine this relationship using two nationally representative samples of Greek students in 2003 and 2012. Findings indicated that both mathematics anxiety and mathematics self-efficacy…
