Student’s Mathematics Anxiety on The Use of Technology in Mathematics Learning

Abstract

This study aim to describe the student’s mathematics anxiety on the use of technology in mathematics learning. It is a quantitative descriptive research by involving second year students of Mathematics Education Program in Universitas Islam Riau (UIR) who took Technology-based Mathematics Learning course. They were selected based on saturation sampling. Data were collected through questionnaire, in-depth interview and documentation. The results show the high level of each dimension of mathematics anxiety among students. The average score in each indicator of cognitive, affective, and physiological dimension were high. In addition, interview revealed that most of the students expressed their anxiety in the first lecture and when obtained the task of applying particular software in mathematics learning. It is mainly due to unpreparedness and lack of knowledge about the application of software. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the level of students’ mathematics anxiety is relatively high. Keywords: Mathematics anxiety, Technology-based, Mathematics learning,

IT - Based Mathematics Learning Module To Decrease Students’ Mathematical Anxiety

“…In learning, there are many challenges in using IT, which creates its own anxiety for students. This is in accordance with the results of the study (Istikomah & Wahyuni, 2018) the level of students' mathematics anxiety in using IT in learning mathematics is still relatively high.…”

The Improving Students’ Mathematics Results and Interest Through Online-Based Flipped Classroom Models

“…According to students, there is pressure during online learning so that the material provided becomes elusive. This is reinforced by the results of research (Istikomah and Wahyuni 2018) who reported students who are common with gadgets as a learning medium still have high anxiety in learning mathematics, and be concluded that gadgets do not significantly contribute to the level of mathematics anxiety.…”

“…Sehingga siswa semakin sulit untuk memahami materi yang dipelajari dan hanya menghafal rumus-rumus yang terdapat di buku tanpa memahami cara menentukan rumus tersebut. Hal ini menyebabkan sebagian besar siswa menganggap Matematika sebagai pelajaran yang sulit dan menakutkan (Fauzy & Nurfauziah, 2021;Huzaimah & Risma, 2021;Istikomah & Wahyuni, 2018). Apabila permasalahan-permasalahan tersebut tidak segera diselesaikan, maka akan memberikan dampak negatif yang lebih besar, diantaranya rendahnya motivasi belajar dan hasil belajar Matematika siswa, yang pada akhirnya akan bermuara pada tidak tercapainya tujuan pembelajaran yang telah ditetapkan.…”
