Geometry is taught as a subject-matter in mathematics courses at elementary school level, and as an independent course at secondary school level in Turkish education system. When the success levels of students regarding these two subjects are examined, it can be seen that there are differences. Anxiety is an important variant on success in mathematics. But whereas geometry is considered as a different field from mathematics by the students, mathematics anxiety cannot cover geometry anxiety completely and that geometry anxiety can be observed separately from mathematics anxiety. Thus the aim of this study is to develop a scale for secondary school level students in order to determine their anxiety towards geometry.

The problem and the aim of the study. Mathematics anxiety is one of the global problems in mathematics learning, especially in solving geometry problems. Mathematical problem-solving is an important teaching tool and is a significant part of learning mathematics. However, most students have not achieved optimal problem-solving because the level of mathematical anxiety still haunts them. This is because mathematics anxiety can cause someone to avoid studying mathematics or anything related to mathematics. This research aims to see how junior high school students mathematics anxiety in learning mathematics and its impact on solving geometry problems. Research methods. The sample for this research was junior high school students aged 13 to 15 years, totalling 197 respondents consisting of 115 female students and 82 male students. The methodology used in this research is a mixmethod with a sequential explanatory design, which consists of two stages, namely quantitative data collection based on mathematics anxiety

Math Anxiety not only plays an important role in the academic performance of students but also has a significant influence on the methodology adopted by teachers. In this study, we examine the relationship between the levels of Math Anxiety of a group of prospective teachers and their opinions about the importance of Geometry in Primary Education. Abbreviated Math Anxiety Scale (AMAS) was applied to 152 students of the Primary Education Degree, along with open-ended questions on their opinions about the role of Geometry in Primary School. An internal consistency check and a factorial analysis were performed on AMAS data to obtain factors Math Learning Anxiety (MLE) and Math Evaluation Anxiety (MEA). The responses from the open-ended questions were categorized and classified into procedural or relational reasons. Results indicate a biased conception about what Geometry teaching should be. Procedural reasons are related to higher levels of Math Anxiety, being the MLE factor more correlated than MEA. Conversely, relational reasons are related to lower levels of such anxiety. Not all the reasons were correlated at the same level, and no differences between genders were observed in the reasons alleged. Results suggest that emotional factors in prospective teachers should be taken into account as they can induce a bias in their future didactic strategies.

To generate high-quality research, a reliable instrument is required. This study aims to develop an instrument that can measure mathematical dimensions of elementary school students appropriately, for use in mathematics learning on spatial geometry. Each statement item in Mathematical Anxiety Instrument was developed based on 3 learning aspects, namely Attitudinal, Cognitive, Somatic. This study uses Research and Development (R&D) method with a quasi-experimental design on geometry topic. The sample is 100 sixth grade students in an elementary school located in Karawang Regency. The instrument developed in this study is in the form of a questionnaire with closed-ended questions. The validity test analysis implies that 23 out of 30 items on the instrument are valid. This data is supported by Cronbach's Alpha test results, where all item has reliability value higher than 0.80 indicating that the instrument being tested has a very high-test reliability. Therefore, 23 items out of 30 items were developed into instruments for measuring mathematics anxiety that applicable in Mathematics learning activities. Thus, it leads to the conclusion that this mathematics anxiety questionnaire can be utilized as an instrument for future research.

Using a sample of 4 th and 5 th graders, this study investigated whether students' mathematics anxiety differed significantly according to a group of variables. A total of 249 students participated in the study. "The Mathematics Anxiety Scale for Elementary School Students" and "The Personal Information Form" were used for data collection. Independent samples t-tests, Oneway Anova and Schefee test were used to analyze the data. Results showed that students' mathematics anxiety differed significantly according to gender, whether they liked mathematics class or not, whether they liked their mathematics teachers or not and the achievement level in mathematics. Female students reported significantly higher mathematics anxiety than males. Students who liked mathematics class and those who liked their mathematics teachers had lower anxiety. Students with higher achievement in mathematics reported lower degrees of mathematics anxiety. However, results did not show any significant difference in students' mathematics anxiety with respect to their grade level and gender-stereotypes about success in mathematics.

This research aims to describe the anxiety of grade 9 students to solve geometry problems based on the IDEAL stages, that is, identify, define, explore, act, and look back. The subjects were three students who each had one student at each level, namely, visualization, analysis, and informal deduction. The data were collected through tests and interviews. To guarantee the validity and reliability of the research, the triangulation technique was used. The findings and conclusions were as follows: students' visualization anxiety could be observed in the explore stage, which was caused by their confusion to use the Pythagorean theorem in which only one side was known, and in the act stage, which was caused by the thinking barrier as they were unable to write the solution and add the explanation; students' analysis anxiety could be observed in the act stage, which was caused by their confusion to ponder over the working time and the use of a wrong method, and in the look-back stage, which was caused by their uncertainty and worry for giving incorrect answers; and students' informal deduction anxiety appeared in the act stage, which was caused by the thinking barrier as they were unable to describe the use of proportion of base and perpendicular of a right triangle.

The purpose of the study is to investigate relationship between math anxiety and gender, grade, perceived enjoyment of mathematics, perceived appreciation of mathematics teacher, type of school, parent's education, number of siblings, and mathematics achievement. Participants were sixth (n = 120) and seventh (n = 124) grade students selected using convenience sampling from two different schools in Fethiye. Significant differences were found between mathematics anxiety and perceived enjoyment of mathematics, perceived appreciation of mathematics teacher, and mathematics achievement. Female students obtained lower anxiety scores than male students. Students who like their mathematics teachers had significantly lower mathematics anxiety.

In this study we investigate elementary school students' mathematics anxiety in Kocaeli province, located at the north western part of Turkey. Depending upon our aim, in this study we have used qualitative research method. According to the purposive sampling and typical-purposive sampling procedures, nine public primary schools in Kocaeli were selected. 482 pupils in the sampling were questioned. The data obtained are analyzed by using SPSS13 program. Descriptive statistical methods and inferential statistical methods such as t-test and one way ANOVA are used to analyze the research data. The results will be discussed hoping that this study can be useful for teachers, pupils and parents to recognize the reasons of mathematics anxiety and to overcome it.
The Renewal Of Hermenutics: With Paul Ricoeur And Beyond, 2020
L’intitulé d’un livre que Jean Greisch a édité en 1985, « l’âge herméneutique de la raison » convient parfaitement à définir le milieu culturel où l’oeuvre de Paul Ricoeur s’est déployée. Il y a au moins deux sens dont cet âge herméneutique pourrait être entendu : soit l’herméneutique comme ontologie fondamentale, soit l’herméneutique comme réflexion sur les méthodes dans les sciences humaines et singulièrement dans les sciences textuelles. La voie que Ricoeur a tracée est une voie singulière, mieux appelée « voie longue », dans le conflit qui oppose ces deux orientations principales de l’herméneutique. Mais que signifie aujourd’hui « renouveler l’herméneutique » et pourquoi faire de l’oeuvre de Paul Ricoeur le point d’ancrage de cette interrogation ? Une de raisons en est justement la « voie longue » de Ricoeur, car la diversité des thématiques (épistémologie, ontologie, politique, éthique, mémoire, justice…) qu’il a abordées au cours de sa trajectoire intellectuelle nous autorise à comprendre son oeuvre comme un « chantier ouvert ».
was one of the most productive systematists of his time. His probably best-known work, the Handbuch der systematischen Weichtierkunde (1929)(1930)(1931)(1932)(1933)(1934)(1935), completed only months before his death, has become an indispensable source of information for any worker in the field. Few other works have subsequently reached the breadth and depth of information that Thiele had accumulated on the phylum Mollusca. The Handbuch was originally issued in four parts by Gustav Fischer Verlag in Jena. It was subsequently combined in two cloth-bound volumes and sold as a hard-cover edition. With each subsequent part after 1929, Thiele supplied extensive additions and corrections to the earlier text. As these additions and corrections have different dates of publication, they are included in this translation as footnote on appropriate pages rather than merged into the main body of the text. The third and final part of the English edition comprises 'Theile' 3 and 4 (the second volume of the original). The first three parts provide an indispensable resource for taxonomic and anatomical research. The fourth part is the highlight of Thiele's work completed only a few months before his death. ). Although a considerable number of his works dealt with sponges and crustaceans, he is best known for his extensive contributions to malacology. These contributions range from smaller review articles to major monographs (e.g., as part of the VALDIVIA German Deep-Sea Expedition series) to handbooks that have become standards in the field of malacology. His probably best-known work, the Handbuch der systematischen Weichtierkunde (1929-1935) has become an indispensable source of information for any worker in the field. Few other works have subsequently reached the breadth and depth of information that Thiele had accumulated on the phylum Mollusca. His now 'traditional' systematic arrangement of taxa in the Handbuch has been followed by thousands of workers and has become the basis for the arrangement of scientific collections throughout the world. Although many parts are now outdated due to subsequent work, the Handbuch is still an important source of information and of great taxonomic significance as it comprises more anatomical data than the other major handbooks in use, i.e., Wenz's work as part of the Handbuch der Paldozoologie, or the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, and because it contains a large number of new taxa described by Thiele. To meet the demand, the Handbuch was reprinted in its original form in 1963 (by A. Asher & Co., Amsterdam). Workers less familiar with the German language have had to resort to translation services, and there is likely hardly a page in the Handbuch that has not been translated at least once. Dr. Joseph Rosewater, Curator of Mollusks at the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, VI D.C., initiated a request for a full English translation of Thiele's Handbuch, shortly before his untimely death in 1985.
