| Abstract: | Students’ concerns about mathematics can significantly affect their ability to learn the subject. In particular, their anxieties
and attitudes can greatly affect how they perceive their own mathematical competence, and in return, this may make them reluctant
to pursue mathematical studies. Many researchers believe in the role of active learning environments in reshaping students’
perception of and emotions about mathematics. This paper reports the results of an investigation on the effect of one such
environment. As a result of being exposed to an active learning environment, a group of 21 cohort students showed opinion
changes from a pre- to post-survey statements significantly on emotion and noticeably on confidence and perception statements.
There was, however, no statistically significant change observed on the opinions of a group of 41 traditional students. |
