Abstract

The purpose of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) math training on math anxiety and academic engagement in sixth grade students. The current research design is semi-experimental in the form of pre-test-post-test with a control group. The statistical population of the research included all the students of the sixth grade of the elementary school in Fasa, who were selected by random method available in a school, and from this school, two classes were randomly selected as the sample group, with a sample size of 60 people (30 people in the experimental group and 30 people were the control group). In the experimental group, the concepts of 2 chapters of 6th grade mathematics, including the concepts of fractions and percentages, were examined using videos and educational software, and the other group was trained at the same time according to the usual routine. A pre-test was conducted before the training, and after the training, a post-test was conducted again on two groups. It included Chiu and Henry's Math Anxiety Questionnaire (1990) and Reeve 's Academic Engagement Questionnaire (2013). Descriptive (frequency, mean, etc.) and inferential (univariate analysis of covariance) statistics were used to analyze the data. At the inferential level, univariate covariance analysis was used. . Based on this, it can be said that the Fava method can be used to reduce math anxiety and increase academic engagement.
