Abstract :
Mathematics is significantly relevant in
everyone’s lives, especially for students. Nevertheless,
regardless of how important the subject is, many
students seem to worry about it. Mathematics anxiety
was often associated with the performance of students in
mathematics. This study aimed to determine the
influence of mathematics anxiety on junior high school
students mathematics performance at Muertegui
National High School. The study utilized a descriptivecorrelational survey design. In this study, 250 junior
high school students in Muertegui National High School
were sampled and identified using stratified random
sampling. Using a survey questionnaire as a research
instrument to gather the data, the 5-point Likert scale
was used for scoring purposes. Descriptive statistics such
as frequency, percentage, standard deviation, mean, and
average weighted mean were analyzed and processed
using MS Excel Analysis ToolPak. Pearson Product
Moment Correlation was used to get the r value, while
Correlation Calculator Website was used to get the pvalue. The findings showed that the mathematics
performance level of junior high school students in
Muertegui National High School was good. However,
some students still received poor grades for the subject.
In addition, the study revealed that mathematics anxiety
negatively affects the mathematics performance of the
students in Muertegui National High School. The study
also revealed no significant relationship between
mathematics anxiety and the mathematics performance
of the students. Thus, it is recommended that the school
have relevant learning strategies and materials for
improving mathematics teaching and learning
effectiveness for the students.
