Abstract

Society nowadays refers to the utility of mathematics as a powerful and concise mean of communication with which one can represent, explain and predict, while its study contributes to the development of logical thinking, spatial perception and exactitude; although the magnitude of this process depends on the way it is taught. In this sense, there are multiple factors that condition maths education, although lately the affective field has acquired special relevance considering that when it comes to learning, attitudes and anxiety are a much worse obstacle than any of the supposed deficiencies in the curriculums of our schools. In the case of mathematics, the consequences are worse than in any other subject. The aim of this research is to find out some conditioning factors that cause anxiety and to develop guidelines for action to prevent it. t is concluded that appropriate educational intervention strategies can remove the anxiety towards Mathematics.
