Abstract :

The study was designed to explore the effectiveness of Attention Relevance Confidence Satisfaction Model on Mathematics Anxiety of students at secondary school level. The ARCS model is a very useful model for teachers who want to analyze their classes through action research. It can be a teacher friendly model that is effective when teachers use motivational strategies that are suited to their students and observe student’s reactions closely. For some people dealing with numbers or math–related situations evokes an emotional response that disrupts their performance especially with students. Mathematics anxiety has been found to decrease the efficiency of an individual’s working memory. The findings of the study indicate that instruction through ARCS model helps students to reduce their Mathematics Anxiety.
