The Influence of Mathematics Anxiety on the Results of Daily Mathematics Tests of Elementary Madrasah Students' in Malangbong District

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of mathematics anxiety on the daily mathematics test results of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) students in Malangbong District. Mathematics anxiety is a form of negative emotional response that can decrease students’ academic performance. This research uses a quantitative approach with a simple linear regression design. The sample consisted of 99 students from three different MI schools selected using stratified random sampling. Data were collected through a questionnaire and documentation of students’ daily mathematics test scores. The results showed a significant negative effect of mathematics anxiety on students’ daily test performance. These findings highlight the need to consider students’ psychological aspects in primary-level mathematics instruction.
