Abstract

In service teachers, participants in a prior study on mathematics anxiety, were revisited to determine whether their levels of mathematics anxiety still existed and/or continued to change after 5 years teaching experience. A 98-item Likert-type survey, informal discussions, informal interviews, and questionnaire-guided narrative interviews were conducted. Date revealed that all in service teachers still experienced some degree of mathematics anxiety (p <.001). Results have implications for teacher education programs concerning the continued professional support of teachers, measurement of mathematics anxiety levels among pre- and in service teachers, and the determination of specific contexts in which mathematics anxiety can be interpreted and reduced.
