MATHOPHOBIA IN HIGH SCHOOL MATHEMATICS TEACHING
MATHOPHOBIA IN HIGH SCHOOL MATHEMATICS TEACHING

Summary/Abstract: At the mere mention of the word mathematics, most students "go dark in the eyes." There are numerous reasons for this. Primarily, mathematics is an abstract science, so it becomes uninteresting and incomprehensible to children. This paper is based on mataphobia in high school students. Namely, mathophobia manifests itself as a fear of mathematics. A person who has a fear of mathematics avoids contact with mathematics in situations that have to do with mathematics. The range of symptoms extends from a mild discomfort when encountering quantitative information to a complete avoidance of anything resembling mathematics. The research itself showed very interesting facts, and indicators that fear is present to a certain extent among students. The topicality of the topic is evident, and the indicators themselves can be the introduction and starting point of some new research, based on the above.
