This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $391,091 will fund research at Texas A&M University from August 1, 2022 to April 30, 2024 examining the development of mathematics anxiety and its impact on math learning outcomes. The official federal grant program is the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Education program under the CFDA number 47.076.

The project aims to advance understanding of how mathematics anxiety hinders math achievement through three main studies. Researchers will use eye-tracking to analyze how math anxiety affects goal-driven attention during problem-solving. They will also take a longitudinal approach to examine how math anxiety relates to avoidance, disengagement and attainment over time in multiple learning contexts. Physiological sensors and surveys will explore individual characteristics that could decouple unwanted outcomes from anxiety. Outreach is expected to promote public understanding of math learning and educate educators. Insights could ultimately improve emotional experiences and knowledge acquisition in math education.
