Numeracy and literacy in sports studies students: barriers to skills development

“…Factors such as: myths, teachers and parents have been listed by Steele andArth (1998), andTrujillo andHadfield (1999) include intellectual factors such as learning styles, persistence, self-doubt and dyslexia. Personality factors including low self-esteem, shyness and intimidation have also been shown to have an impact on mathematics anxiety (Fotoples, 2000;Levine, 1995). The importance of recognising and then dealing with mathematics anxiety is of great concern.…”

Applying Cognitive Therapy for Depression and Anxiety in Mathematics Education for Students’ Sustainable Performance

“…Teachers can adopt one of several research-based interventions in their class-rooms that may help lessen their students' mathematical anxiety, thereby increasing students' positive attitudes toward mathematics. These interventions include but are not limited to cooperative and small grouping (Furner & Duffy, 2002;Lee, Capraro, & Bicer, 2019), use of manipulative and technology based instruction (Bicer et al, 2018), the identification of problems areas and use of proactive positive approaches (Fotoples, 2000), journal writing and bibliography (Furner & Duffy, 2002) and orchestrated immersion in brain-based learning strategy (Souse, 2008). These interventions have reduced mathematical anxiety and eventually improved their mathematics achievement (Beilock & Maloney, 2015;Hembree, 1990;Ramires,, Chang, Maloney, Levine, & Beilock, 2016;Zakaria, Zain, Ahmad, & Erlina, 2012) one other major challenge among students with mathematics anxiety is depression.…”
