Abstract

Middle school students are known to have high levels of math anxiety. According to the need for test tools that reflect the characteristics of today's middle school students, it was intended to develop a mathematical anxiety test for middle school students. Sub-factors of mathematical anxiety were established based on prior research and questions corresponding to each factor were produced. The suitability and validity of the questions were analyzed through two pilot tests. Then some of the questions were revised. This test was conducted on 255 middle school students using the revised questions, and the validity and reliability of the test tools were analyzed on 246 student responses. The final developed test tool consisted of 6 sub-factors and a total of 36 questions, and was intended to provide students, teachers, and parents with information about students' mathematical anxiety by providing criteria for the degree of anxiety.

중학교 학생은 수학불안의 정도가 높은 것으로 알려져 있다. 오늘날 중학교 학생의 특성을 반영한 검사도구의 필요성에 따라 중학교 학생을 위한 수학불안 검사를 개발하고자 하였다. 선행연구 분석을 통해 수학불안의 하위 요인을 설정하였으며 각 요인에 해당하는 문항을 제작하였다. 두 번의 파일럿 검사를 통해 문항의 적합성 및 타당도를 분석하여 일부 문항을 수정하였다. 수정된 문항을 사용하여 중학교 학생 255명을 대상으로 본 검사를 실시하였고, 246명의 학생을 대상으로 검사도구의 타당도와 신뢰도를 확인하였다. 최종 개발된 검사도구는 하위 요인 6개, 총 36개의 문항으로 구성되었으며, 수학불안의 정도에 대한 준거를 함께 제시하여 학생의 수학불안에 대한 정보를 학생과 교사, 학부모에게 제공하고자 하였다.
