The current study addresses the role of teacher math anxiety on ninth-grade students’math achievement and the mediating factors underlying this relationship. Using data from the National Mindset Study, we find that higher teacher math anxiety is associated with lower math achievement. This relationship is partially mediated by the students’perception that their teacher believes not everyone can be good at math and is not explainable by teachers’ usable knowledge to teach mathematics. In subsequent analyses, we find that higher teacher math anxiety relates to a reduction in process-oriented (as opposed to ability-oriented) teaching practices, which in turn predict students’perception of teacher mindset. We argue that math anxious teachers and their use of particular teaching strategies have the potential to shape students’ math achievement and their perceptions of what their teacher believes about math.  \nKeywords: teacher math anxiety, math learning, mindset  \nHigh levels of math anxiety can severely undermine an individual’s ability to acquire the mathematical knowledge needed for the 21st-century workplace (Hembree, 1990) . Math anxiety is a persistent fear, tension, and apprehension related to situations that require math. Individuals who are math anxious experience intrusive worries that disrupt performance (Ashcraft & Kirk, 2001) . These worries manifest in everyday experiences as well as evaluative classroom situations (e.g., taking a test, answering a question in front of peers, etc.) . Individuals who are math anxious also engage in avoidance behaviors that lead them to take fewer math classes and participate in majors with fewer math requirements (Hembree, 1990; LeFevre, Kulak, & Heymans, 1992) even if they possess the math skills and course experience tobe successful in those majors.  \nDecades of research have led to a good understanding of the impact of math anxiety among students, but we are only beginning to understand the effects of math anxiety among teachers. One might expect that teachers, who are tasked with being students’primary mathematics instructors, would  \nfeel quite comfortable around math. Unfortunately, many elementary teachers have higher math anxiety than individuals in other fields of study, such as business, physical science, and health sciences (Battista, 1986; Bryant, 2009; Hembree, 1990) . The math anxiety that teachers experience carries consequences beyond the individual as teachers who report high levels of math anxiety also report a reduction in the belief that they are capable of successfully carrying out their teaching responsibilities to their students (i.e., teaching self-efficacy and confidence; Bursal & Paznokas, 2006; Gresham, 2008; Swars, Daane, & Giesen, 2006) . Teacher math anxiety also impacts their own students’math learning. Several quantitative (Beilock, Gunderson, Ramirez, & Levine, 2010; Hadley & Dorward, 2011; Maloney, Ramirez, Gunderson, Levine, & Beilock, 2015) and qualitative (Bryant, 2009; Bulmahn & Young, 1982; Furner & Berman, 2003; Hembree, 1990; Karp, 1991; Kelly & Tomhave, 1985; Larson, 1983; Lazarus, 1974; Martinez, 1987; Ring, Pape, & Tittle, 2000; Sloan, Daane, & Giesen, 2002; Swetman, 1994; Vinson, 2001) studies report a negative relationship between  \nCreative Commons Non Commercial CC BY-NC: This article is distributed under the terms of the Creative Common","cbCaijQ6XlWgUmar","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijQ6XlWgUmar","pdf",493315,13,"English","# Study overview\n## Main findings and mediation mechanisms\n## Teaching practices and student perceptions\n## Background on math anxiety and teacher impact\n## Research gaps and motivation for middle/high school focus","[{\"question\":\"How does teacher math anxiety affect ninth-grade students’ math achievement?\",\"answer\":\"Higher teacher math anxiety is associated with lower math achievement among ninth-grade students.\"},{\"question\":\"What mediating factor explains part of the relationship?\",\"answer\":\"The relationship is partially mediated by students’ perception that their teacher believes not everyone can be good at math.\"},{\"question\":\"What teaching behavior changes when teachers have higher math anxiety?\",\"answer\":\"Higher teacher math anxiety is linked to reduced process-oriented teaching practices, which then influence students’ perceptions of teacher mindset.\"}]","Teacher Math Anxiety Relates to Adolescent Students’ Math Achievement - Research Article | PDF",1792068182,33]
