Valéria Švecová:Meranie matematickej úzkosti u vysokoškolských študentov
Full paper(Measurement of Math Anxiety in University Students)

Abstract: In Slovakia there is no research into mathematical anxiety and its impact on mathematics. Our goal was to create a tool for measuring mathematical anxiety that would be adapted to Slovak conditions. Our research studied the relationship between individual need for cognitive structure and three forms of anxiety (math, state, and trait). The sample comprised 150 students of two specializations from the Faculty of Education (63 students of primary education – UPV and 87 students of pre-school and elementary education – PEP).
