Abstract

This study aims to describe the portrait of students' emotions in mathematics learning at SMP Negeri 7 Muaro Jambi. This research employed a quantitative descriptive approach involving 29 eighth-grade students as respondents. The instrument used was a Likert scale questionnaire consisting of 25 statements covering five main indicators: enthusiasm and interest in learning mathematics, self-confidence, resilience in facing difficulties, fear and anxiety, and negative emotions in mathematics learning. The data processing results showed that the overall average score of students' emotions was 80.90 out of a maximum score of 125, or 64.72%, which falls into the Moderately Positive category. The indicator of enthusiasm and interest in learning mathematics obtained the highest average score of 23.17 (77.23%), while the indicators of self-confidence and fear and anxiety toward mathematics were still in the less positive category. As many as 48.28% of students were in the Positive to Very Positive category, while 13.79% of students were still in the Less Positive category. This study concludes that although students have fairly good enthusiasm, efforts are still needed to strengthen positive emotions and reduce students' anxiety in mathematics learning.
