iFeelMath project

iFeelMath is a 4-year Academy of Finland consortium project between Åbo Akademi University and University of Oulu. We investigate the developmental and situational dynamics of math anxiety and math performance among primary-school students, between Grades 4–6, and develop some interventions for reducing math anxiety.

AIMS
  • To investigate the ​developmental dynamics between math performance and math anxiety

  • To investigate the situational dynamics between math performance and math anxiety, using also physiological measures (e.g., skin conductance)

  • To develop and test the effectiveness of brief classroom interventions to support students with high math anxiety
