  The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between studying approaches and math anxiety with academic achievement in mathematics. For this purpose, 166 students (98 male and 68 female) were randomly selected with cluster sampling from Islamic Azad University branch Abadan that they are enrolment in pre-mathematics courses in the second semester of the 1389-90 year. The Approaches and Study Skills Inventory for Students scale and Fennema-Sherman Mathematics Anxiety Scale were used respectively for measuring studying approaches and mathematics anxiety, Final exam scores was considered as achievement in mathematics. The Pearson correlation test didn’t show a significant relationship between deep, strategic and surface studying approaches with mathematics achievement. Mathematics anxiety had negatively significant related to mathematics achievement and also all subscales of studying approaches had a significant relation with mathematics anxiety. Using the structural equation modeling for identifying relations between studying approaches and math achievement in the presence of math anxiety indicated a surface studying approach has a negative indirect significant effect on mathematics achievement. The result shows that students with surface studying approach show a weaker performance in mathematics, even in the non-deep tests. The results of this study can be used in academic counseling to increase mathematics achievement.    Manuscript profile

  This paper aims to investigate the role of dimension computer game in students’ achievement motivation as well as their mathematics achievement in relation to their background knowledge of English and mathematics. This study was a kind of quasi experimental research with pre-test and post-test with a control group. The statistical population included boy students in grade two of secondary school in Tehran city. Through cluster random sampling method, 87 have been selected and divided into two control and test groups. The research tools were researcher-made English test, mathematics test and mathematics achievement motivation questionnaire. The statistical method was block multiple variance analysis. The research results indicated that the computer game based method (dimension game for teaching equation and coordinate axes) with media of English and mathematics background knowledge can increase academic achievement. English background had no influence on the effect of dimension computer game on tendency motive. Computer game with medium of mathematics background knowledge can increase tendency motive. English background did not have any influence on the effect of dimension computer game on preventive motive either. Computer game with the medium of mathematics background knowledge, too, can increase preventive motive. Computer game based method with media of English and mathematics background knowledge can result in positive attitude towards mathematics. Therefore, we can conclude that emphasis on English and mathematics background knowledge as well as using educational computer games can lead to students’ academic achievement and mathematics achievement motivation.
