Abstract

Mathematics is a fundamental subject that plays an important role in developing logical and analytical thinking skills. However, many students experience math phobia, which negatively affects their motivation, interest, and learning outcomes. This study aims to (1) describe the concept of math phobia, (2) develop a math phobia mitigation model, and (3) analyze the effect of the model on students’ mathematics learning outcomes. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) method with a mixed-methods approach. The research subjects were high school students in Binjai City. The results indicate that math phobia is characterized by emotional anxiety, cognitive disruption, and avoidance behavior. The developed mitigation model was able to increase students’ motivation and interest in learning, as well as improve learning outcomes from an average score of 62 to 82. Therefore, the mitigation model is proven to be effective in reducing mathematics anxiety and improving student achievement.

Abstract

Indonesia low performance in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) raises serious questions about the effectiveness of the national education performance accountability system. This article analyzes the relationship between PISA outcomes and the crisis of educational accountability by using the UNESCO accountability framework as an analytical lens. A conceptual-analytical approach is employed to examine how monitoring systems, evaluation practices, data transparency, and continuous improvement mechanisms have not yet functioned optimally in Indonesia. The findings reveal policy fragmentation, weak data utilization, and a gap between national assessments and international competency standards. The UNESCO framework offers a holistic approach grounded in quality, equity, and collaboration that can strengthen education governance. This article recommends aligning national assessments with PISA competencies, strengthening data-driven accountability, improving the quality of teachers’ pedagogy, and ensuring long-term policy consistency as strategies to enhance Indonesia’s educational competitiveness.
