Abstract

A pre-elementary education student at West Virginia University completed an independent study on mathematics anxiety, which included reading research articles, keeping a journal, completing a research project, and writing a paper. This article will discuss details of the project and results from a survey that the student completed. In particular, the researchers found that writing a paper incorporating reviews of research articles relevant to the student was especially beneficial. However, this research supports recommendations that students need a support system before beginning similar projects.
