Matematikängslan hos elever i grundskolan : mätning, mediatorer och kulturöverskridande jämförelser
No full textThis thesis was conducted within the project Choking Under Pressure, a longitudinal study following Swedish Grade 4 students during four semesters. The main purpose of this thesis was to develop and validate a math anxiety rating scale for Swedish-speaking primary school students in a Nordic context, and to explore the underlying mechanisms in the math anxiety–math performance relationship. This thesis consists of four studies, where Studies I and II adopt a measurement perspective. Study III provides a review of the role of working memory in the math anxiety–math performance relationship. Study IV extends Study III by empirically examining working memory and self-concept as mediators. Study I assessed the validity and reliability of the Swedish MARS-E. Test-retest reliability and internal consistency demonstrated longitudinal stability and strong item agreement. Dimensionality analysis supported a one-factor structure, with evidence of both gender and longitudinal invariance. Significant gender differences in math anxiety were found, increasing across time points. Study II extended Study I by combining data from two Finnish projects–one Finnish and one Finland-Swedish–with the Swedish sample. All measurements were conducted in Spring 2023 on Grade 4 students using the same instruments. A one-factor model was found for both Swedish-speaking groups, whereas the Finnish version of the MARS-E supported a two-factor model. Study III was a literature review employing meta-analysis to examine the relationship between working memory and math anxiety, and the mediating role of working memory in the math anxiety–performance link. Results from 57 studies showed a significant negative correlation, and data from 8 studies indicated a partial mediation effect. Study IV empirically examined how working memory and math self-concept influence the math anxiety–math performance link. Using structural equation models across two longitudinal waves, as well as multiple mediation, the results showed that both working memory and self-concept in math are important mediators in this relationship.The main contributions of this thesis are the development and validation of the Swedish MARS-E, as well as a deeper understanding of the mediating roles of working memory and math self-concept in the math anxiety–math performance relationship. These findings have implications for both research and educational practice, refining theoretical models of math anxiety and its cognitive and motivational correlates, and providing a foundation for interventions targeting math anxiety
Den ömsesidiga effekten mellan matematikprestation, självuppfattning i och intresse för matematik : En longitudinell kvantitativ studie
No full textDen ömsesidiga effektmodellen mellan självuppfattning och prestation i matematik antas vara kulturellt universal och modellen innebär att båda variablerna predicerar varandra. För att framgångsrikt hitta en ömsesidig relation är det viktigt att mäta en domänspecifik självuppfattning som samstämmer med den domänen av prestation som undersöks. Teorin för självuppfattning grundar sig på ett koncept om en multidimensionell hierarki som förgrenar sig och blir mer specifik desto längre ner i hierarkin man tar sig. Ett domänspecifikt intresse har i vissa studier bevisats ha en ömsesidig effekt på matematikprestation. Intresse är en erkänd viktig mental resurs som behövs när man utvecklar inlärningsstrategier. Intresse fungerar dessutom som ett underlag för vår uthållighet vid inlärning.
Syftet med den här avhandlingen är att undersöka förhållandet mellan självuppfattning i, intresse för och prestation i matematik hos elever i årskurs 7–9. Från syftet har följande forskningsfrågor formulerats:
1. Hurdana samband finns det mellan elevers
självuppfattning i matematik och
matematikprestationer under fyra
mättillfällen i årskurs 7–9?
2. Hurdana samband finns det mellan elevers
intresse för matematik och
matematikprestationer under fyra
mättillfällen i årskurs 7–9?
3. Hurdana samband finns det mellan elevers
självuppfattning i matematik och
intresse för matematik under fyra
mättillfällen i årskurs 7–9?
Den här avhandlingen är kvantitativ och data kommer från FRAM-projektet som leds av Åbo Akademi. Data (n = 583) är longitudinella och baserar sig på enkätsvar och ett matematiktest som har mätts vid fyra tillfällen under loppet av knappt fyra år. En longitudinell strukturekvationsmodell skapades för att besvara avhandlingens forskningsfrågor. Från avhandlingens resultat kan man avläsa en ömsesidig effekt mellan självuppfattning i matematik och matematikprestation. Självuppfattning i matematik predicerar matematikprestation starkare än vice versa. Intresse för matematik och matematikprestation samt intresse för och självuppfattning i matematik predicerar varandra mer sporadiskt. Sambanden som undersöks i forskningsfråga 2 och 3 har inte en konsekvent ömsesidig effekt. Men intressant nog har intresse en predicerande effekt på självuppfattning i och prestation i matematik från enbart tidpunkt 2–3, vilket också är den längsta tidsperioden mellan mättillfällena. Resultaten innebär att om man förbättrar elevers matematiska prestationer leder det till en förbättring av deras självuppfattning i matematik och eventuellt en liten ökning i intresse för matematik i årskurs 7. Förbättrad självuppfattning i matematik leder till förbättrad matematikprestation under hela årskurs 7–9, och i årskurs 9 även en ökning i intresse för matematik. Förbättrat intresse för matematik i årskurs 7 kan leda till en förbättring i både självuppfattning och prestation i matematik på lång sikt

Working Memory and Its Mediating Role on the Relationship of Math Anxiety and Math Performance: A Meta-Analysis
No full textIt is well established that math anxiety has a negative relationship with math performance (MP). A few theories have provided explanations for this relationship. One of them, the Attentional Control Theory (ACT), suggests that anxiety can negatively impact the attentional control system and increase one's attention to threat-related stimuli. Within the ACT framework, the math anxiety (MA)—working memory (WM) relationship is argued to be critical for math performance. The present meta-analyses provides insights into the mechanisms of the MA—MP relation and the mediating role of WM. Through database searches with pre-determined search strings, 1,346 unique articles were identified. After excluding non-relevant studies, data from 57 studies and 150 effect sizes were used for investigating the MA—MP correlation using a random-effects model. This resulted in a mean correlation of r = −0.168. The database search of WM as a mediator for the MA—MP relation revealed 15 effects sizes leading to a descriptive rather than a generalizable statistic, with a mean indirect effect size of −0.092. Overall, the results confirm the ACT theory, WM does play a significant role in the MA—MP relationship.Choking under pressur
Hur påverkar en företagskultur sättet att bygga en organisation i Sverige : - En fallstudie om Shimano Nordic AB (Sverige)
No full textTitle: How does a corporate culture affect the way an organization is built in Sweden Level: Bachelor's degree thesis in business administration Author: Martin Wadia and Jonatan Holst Supervisor: Alice Schmuck Date: 2023 January Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the cultural aspect within an organization, how it affects organizational structure and when a company with a different corporate cultureconducts business in Sweden. We will examine how a Japanese company adapted itsorganization to cross-cultural differences and analyze whether hierarchy systems create valuefor them in a country where that culture is not as common. Method: This study was based on a qualitative research method. The primary data collectionis based on semi-structured interviews and written interviews. The secondary data collection isbased on business literature. Conclusion: This study concludes that the Japanese corporate culture does not affect the officethat is established in the Swedish market. At the same time as the company that is establishedin the Swedish market adapts as best it can to be able to fit in among other competitors. Thestudy has also concluded that the hierarchy has no influence in Sweden due to the nonaccepting Swedish culture. Contribution of the thesis: The study gives Japanese companies insight into what obstaclesmay arise in Sweden. At the same time, the studies contribute with more understanding of howcross-cultural situations are handled in Sweden. Suggestion for further research: Further research can conduct a multiple case study withseveral Japanese companies. Titel: Hur påverkar en företagskultur sättet att bygga en organisation i SverigeNivå: Examensarbete på grundnivå (kandidatexamen) i ämnet företagsekonomi Författare: Martin Wadia och Jonatan Holst Handledare: Alice Schmuck Datum: 2023 Januari Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att analysera den kulturella aspekten inom en organisation, hur den påverkar organisationsuppbyggnad och när ett företag med annorlunda företagskulturbedriver verksamhet i Sverige. Vi ska undersöka hur ett japanskt företag anpassat sinorganisation till tvärkulturella skillnader och analysera om hierarkisystem skapar värde för demi ett land där den kulturen inte är lika vanlig. Metod: Denna studie baserades på en kvalitativ forskningsmetod. Den primäradatainsamlingen är baserad på semistrukturerade intervjuer och skriftliga intervjuer. Densekundära datainsamlingen är baserad på företagslitteratur. Slutsats: Denna studie kommer fram till att den japanska företagskulturen inte påverkarkontoret som etableras i den svenska marknaden. Samtidigt som företaget som etableras i densvenska marknaden anpassar sig så gott den kan för att kunna passa in bland andrakonkurrenter. Studien har även kommit fram till att hierarkin inte har inflytande i Sverige pågrund av den icke accepterande svenska kulturen. Examensarbetets bidrag: Studien ger japanska företag insikt på vilka hinder som kan uppståi Sverige. Samtidigt bidrar studien med mer förståelse inom hur tvärkulturella situationerhanteras i Sverige. Förslag till vidare forskning: Vidare forskning kan utföra en flerfallstudie med flera japanskaföreta
A Meta-Analysis of Math Anxiety Interventions
No full textThe experience of math anxiety can have detrimental effects on students’ math performance, and researchers have in recent years tried to design interventions aiming at reducing math anxiety. This meta-analysis aimed to examine the effectiveness of math anxiety interventions in reducing math anxiety and improving math performance. The meta-analysis comprised 50 studies and included 75 effect sizes. On average, the effect sizes were moderate (g = -0.467) for reducing math anxiety and improving math performance (g = 0.502). Interventions that focused on Cognitive support or regulating Emotions were effective both in reducing math anxiety and improving math performance. In addition, longer interventions and interventions targeting students older than 12 had the biggest decrease in math anxiety. Study quality was not related to intervention outcomes
