DEVELOPING A CONCEPTUAL MODEL FOR TEACHING STUDENTS WITH MATHS ANXIETY AMONG UPPER PRIMARY LEVEL
Dr. Ar. Saravanakumar Assistant Professor, DDE, Alagappa University, Karaikudi 630003 Tamilnadu India Control Group Experimental Group Pre test 45.53 32.44% Post test 57.46% 67.55% Test Mean S.D Mean 't' value Level of significance Control group pretest 17.1 1.61 0.55 0.99 Not significant Experimental group pretest 17.65 1.87 112 www.worldwidejournals.com It is concluded that there is a significant difference between the post tests mean scores of the control group and the experimental group. CONCLUSION The present research has proved the effectiveness of conceptual models for controlling the maths anxiety among students at upper primary level. In order to control the maths anxiety at upper primary level in future if this model is used they will perform better in the mathematical concepts. In this aspect, the duty of teacher is to control the maths anxiety among students at upper primary level. There are lot of techniques for the controlling maths anxiety among students but only a few techniques are highly influencing for the controlling the maths anxiety. In this aspect the investigator has identified conceptual model animation based teaching to control the maths anxiety among students. But the conceptual based animated models are only in English. In this aspect, the investigator had decided to prepare conceptual model with animated teaching in Tamil for the better understanding of selected concepts of mathematics. It is concluded that this method is highly effective one rather than the other techniques for controlling the maths anxiety among students studying at upper primary level.
