Holistic Review: Math Anxiety and the STEM Profession
2023
Overview
Demand for STEM professionals in the US is growing. However, some students interested in becoming STEMpnfessionals find math anxiety (MA) a barrier to success. STEM prefessionals, such as mathematicians, engineers, and natural scientists, dipend heavily on theoretical mathematics, while social scientists and technologists dipend on practical applications if mathematics. This may be a sign.ficant consideration when students choose a STEM major and decide whether to remain in that major. MA a, p pears to be a factor in degree selection and retention. A search if peer-reviewed sources using \"mathematics anxiety\" and \"sef-ijficaiy\" was narrowed to the most relevant research for postsecondary populations. The author mined the five most cited sources' references to gain a \"genealogy\" if MA research. These were sorted by date, education level, STEM population, and methods. Past MA research has heavily di pended on convenience sampling, primarily resultingin student populations from social science (such as psychology) and mathematics or were not d.fferentiated by major. There is a sign.ficant dificit if data on MA in engineering and technology majors. There has also been limited exploration if the salient variables contributing to MA in these students through qualitative research. Ho pl: os AMAS test instrument is the appropriate methodfior measuring MA in this population. A demonstrated connection exists between MIA and math sef-tjficaiy, perceived math value, and perceived control over the math assessment outcome. The proposed conceptual framework uses Bandura's Sef-Tjficaty Theory (SET) and Pekrun's ControlValue Theory (CVT) to develop subsequent research.
