Why is it important?
Our results of the study showed a higher intrinsic goal orientation in both hard-of-hearing and hearing students than in the deaf students; extrinsic goal orientation was higher in the deaf and hard-of-hearing students than in the hearing students; and task value, control belief, and mathematics self-efficacy were lower in the deaf and hard-of-hearing students than in the hearing students. The findings of the study also showed that mathematics test anxiety and mathematics anxiety were higher in the hard-of-hearing and deaf students than in their hearing peers. Moreover, mathematics performance was higher in the hearing students than in their deaf and hard-of-hearing peers.
Perspectives
This article is the first article to address the mathematics motivation and anxiety in students with hearing loss and hearing students. This article is very important. Because mathematics motivation and anxiety in people with hearing problems can lead to low math performance. the present study supports the need to inform educators of special-needs students regarding the educational challenges, especially in mathematics, that may be faced by students who are deaf and hard of hearing to ensure provision of appropriate educational accommodations.
