Abstract

This research aims to explore the potential correlation between the reflective thinking skills of 8th-grade students in secondary education and their level of math anxiety. The study also intends to investigate potential discrepancies in students' reflective thinking abilities for problem-solving and mathematics anxiety, considering factors such as gender, parental education level, and the type of games played. One of the quantitative research designs, the relational survey model, was employed in this study. There were 779 8th-grade students in the study group, comprising 415 females and 364 males. The researchers collected data using three tools: the reflective thinking skills in problem-solving scale developed by Kızılkaya and Aşkar (2009), the mathematics anxiety scale developed by Bindak (2005), and a personal information form created by the researchers. The data obtained from the scales were analyzed using statistical methods such as arithmetic mean, t-test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Scheffe test. A noteworthy finding is that the math anxiety scale score and the reflective thinking skills scale score for problem-solving exhibit a significant difference based on the type of game played by the students. An important finding is that the reflective thinking skill scale for problem-solving reasoning sub-dimension accounts for 10% of the total variance in mathematics anxiety, as revealed by the multiple regression analysis.
初八年级学生解决问题的反思性思维能力与数学焦虑的相关研究
本研究旨在探讨中学八年级学生反思性思维能力与其数学焦虑水平之间的潜在相关性。考虑到性别、父母教育水平和玩的游戏类型等因素,该研究还打算调查学生在解决问题和数学焦虑方面的反思性思维能力的潜在差异。本研究采用了定量研究设计中的一种,即关系调查模型。研究小组共有779名八年级学生,其中包括415名女生和364名男生。研究人员使用三种工具收集数据:Kızılkaya和a(2009)开发的反思性思维技能问题解决量表,Bindak(2005)开发的数学焦虑量表,以及研究人员创建的个人信息表格。采用算术平均值、t检验、方差分析(ANOVA)和Scheffe检验等统计方法对量表数据进行分析。一个值得注意的发现是,数学焦虑量表得分和解决问题的反思性思维技能量表得分根据学生玩的游戏类型表现出显著差异。多元回归分析发现,问题解决推理子维度的反思性思维技能量表占数学焦虑总方差的10%。
