“…On the contrary, other research indicates that as grade level increases, math anxiety reduces (Aydın et al, 2009;Levere & Kahlon, 2019;Özdemir & Sezginsoy Şeker, 2017). When this result is evaluated in terms of mathematics anxiety, it can be attributed to the fact that many programs in higher education offer basic mathematics lessons to students in the first years and the anxiety is at the level of damped behavior for advanced grade levels (Levere & Kahlon, 2019;Wahid et al, 2014;Yenilmez et al, 2004). According to published studies on the connection between mathematics anxiety and mathematical achievement, there is a poor connection between students' academic performance and their level of anxiety (Ashcraft & Faust, 1994;Ashcraft & Kirk, 2001;Buelow & Frakey, 2013;Hembree, 1990;Ma, 1999;Nunez-Pena.…”
