Povzetek

Matematično anksioznost običajno definiramo kot občutek napetosti, zaskrbljenosti ali strahu, ki ovira storilnost/uspešnost pri matematiki. Čeprav se o vzrokih matematične anksioznosti raziskovalci še niso poenotili, pa lahko med dejavnike tveganja štejemo neustrezne stile poučevanja. Posledice matematične anksioznosti se kažejo na osebnem in akademskem področju. Najbolj prodorno je nagnjenje k izogibanju matematiki in matematičnim aktivnostim, kar oslabi posameznikove matematične kompetence in ovira karierne odločitve. S tega vidika je nujno, da učitelji razumejo vzroke matematične anksioznosti in učencem ustrezno pomagajo. Prispevek podaja pregled literature in omenjeni problem osvetli z vidika vzrokov, posledic, instrumentov za merjenje ter intervencijskih programov. Navedena so tudi nekatera znanstvena spoznanja, ki obravnavajo razlike v spolu in starosti glede na matematično anksioznost. Ker gre za dokaj običajen pojav tudi med učitelji razrednega pouka in lahko resno ovira njihovo poučevanje, se prispevek dotakne tudi tega vidika.
