| Summary: | This study aims to identify mathematics anxiety level and type of mathematics
self concept among form two students in SM Sains Kuching. Beside, this study
interested to investigate whether a correlation exist between mathematics
anxiety and mathematics self concept among the students. This study involved
104 of form two students in SM Sains Kuching. The instruments used in this
study were 30 items of Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale-Short version (MARS�S) and ten items of Mathematics Self Description Questionnaire. The findings
reveal that form two students in SM Sains Kuching have low level of
mathematics anxiety (M=2.2202) and positive mathematics self concept
(M=3.8683). The findings also found that there is no significant difference
between male and female students in mathematics anxiety and mathematics self
concept. However, female students indicated high score in mathematics anxiety
(M=2.2771) compare to male students (M=2.1654). Female students also have
low score in mathematics self concept (M=3.8245) compare to male students
(M=3.9137). This study also found a negative correlation between mathematics
anxiety and mathematics self concept among form two students in SM Sains
Kuching which means that when the level of mathematics anxiety of the students
is low, the mathematics self concept of the students will increase to positive. |
