Description
Erik Bergqvist studies math self beliefs and student engagement in group problem work in a 2026 paper. Confidence in math skill and math self image both foretell engagement, yet their split roles beside math anxiety are rarely modeled together. Swedish upper secondary students were tracked over a two week problem solving unit.
Seventy seven students gave data at two time points. General math confidence linked positively to every engagement facet, while math self image linked only in narrow ways. Math anxiety tied mainly to mental disengagement. Past achievement seemed to reach engagement through general confidence. Teachers should build broad confidence and ease anxiety together.
