Trends and Tasks of Studies on Math Anxiety
-Using Cognitive Neuroscience Techniques-
Yun, Eun Jeong (Korea National University of Education)
This study aimed to explore study trends on mathematics in Korea based on literature research, deduce implications, and present future tasks. For this purpose, from various sources including ERIC and Sciencedirect.com, National Assembly Library and Research Information Sharing Service of Korea Education and Research Information Service, domestic and foreign theses and papers were collected and analyzed using related search words. This study found that researches on math anxiety using cognitive neuroscience techniques have not been conducted yet in Korea, while researches to analyse brain networking using fMRI and EEG are conducted in other countries. It is expected that such researches on math anxiety using cognitive neuroscience techniques would provide quantitative, objective, evidence-based data and explain causes and
neurophysiological mechanisms of math anxiety by determining correlation between math anxiety and brain regions. Therefore, Korean researchers need to introduce and use cognitive neuroscience techniques for more fundamental and scientific studies on math anxiety, based on human brain.
* Key words: math anxiety, neurophysiological methods, cognitive neuroscience techniques
