Development and validation of math anxiety scale for secondary school students (MAS-SS): application of Rasch analysis

The accurateness of an instrument in measuring intended variables is significant to ensure the findings is really meaningful. Even the existing instrument should be review if it aims to measure the variables in different context and domain specific. This paper will discuss the development and valida...
