Abstract

This study aims to investigate whether student anxiety about the subject of mathematics has any effect on the achievement of middle-school students in Amman, Jordan. It also aims to investigate whether student gender plays a role. The study sample consists of 180 seventh grade students enrolled in Amman public schools during the 2018/2019 academic year. These are distributed into three levels of anxiety as displayed by the students: low, middle, and high. Then, math anxiety measurements are collected, the validity and reliability for which are verified. The results reveal that there are statistically-significant differences in achievement between the middle level of math anxiety and the two other extremes. It is found that middle anxiety level have a positive effect on achievement, whereas for low and high math anxiety levels, no differences in achievement are perceived. In addition, no statistically significant differences (α more equal than 0.01) were found between males and females with regards to math anxiety; and there is no interaction between the level of math anxiety and gender in achievement.

Abstract

The study aimed at investigating the levels of geometrical thinking among students receiving blended learning in Jordan. The study sample consisted of (104) students / teachers of open education systems in Jordan for the2015 -2016 academic year. In order to answer the questions of study, the researcher developed a scale of geometric thinking, it is validity and reliability has been verified. The results of the study showed a low level of geometrical thinking among students receiving blended learning. The percentage of students in the first level (visual) (51%), the percentage of students in the second level (descriptive) (15%), and the percentage of students in the third level (logical) (3%). Also it showed differences in the levels of geometric thinking between males and females in favor of males, as well as differences in the level of geometrical thinking between students from the scientific stream and students from the literary stream in favor of scientific stream. In the light of the results of the study, the researcher recommends that pre-service teachers should be trained on programs contains geometrical thinking at open learning universities.
