Resumen
La ansiedad matemática es un fenómeno que afecta a un gran número de individuos y que desde hace algunos años ha comenzado a ser motivo de estudio. Este rechazo a las matemáticas aparece a edades tempranas y causa el bloqueo, frustración, miedo y otros síntomas emocionales en las personas que la sufren. Esto ocurre debido a diferentes factores, tanto externos como internos. La ansiedad matemática muestra problemas en la memoria de trabajo, ya que, al producirse la ansiedad los recursos de la memoria de trabajo no se desarrollan de manera correcta. También está influenciada por factores ambientales, ansiedad que los maestros pueden transmitir, la que pueden transmitir los padres, falta de confianza ante algunas situaciones, etc. Para intentar prevenir esta ansiedad o mejorar los niveles con los que se manifiesta, diferentes autores han ido desarrollando numerosas teorías y un gran número de métodos de evaluación e intervención.
Math anxiety is a phenomenon that affects a large number of individuals and has recently become the subject of study. This aversion to mathematics appears at an early age and causes blockage, frustration, fear, and other emotional symptoms in those who suffer from it. This occurs due to various factors, both external and internal. Math anxiety reveals problems in working memory, since when anxiety occurs, working memory resources are not properly developed. It is also influenced by environmental factors, anxiety that teachers may transmit, anxiety that parents may transmit, a lack of confidence in certain situations, etc. To try to prevent this anxiety or improve the levels at which it manifests, different authors have developed numerous theories and a large number of assessment and intervention methods.
