Mathematics anxiety phenomenon among students: a study on five selected programs in UiTM Melaka / Mohd Hafiz Mohammad Hamzah and Yusarima Muhamad
Students always think that Mathematics as a burden to their academic life where slowly they feel fear to Mathematics. This phenomenon is called the Mathematics anxiety. Mathematics anxiety is a learned emotional response to either following process: participating in a Mathematics class, listening to...
