Over the past decade, several researchers have documented the results of their
research on the connection between mathematics anxiety and poor mathematical
abilities of students. Therefore, the study of mathematical anxiety and its causal
factors becomes an important research area. This study aims to determine the
level of mathematics anxiety and the influencing factors among junior high
school students in Yogyakarta. It is a descriptive study with quantitative data
about mathematics anxiety in junior high schools in Yogyakarta. With the use of
random sampling technique, 2163 students from 44 public and private schools in
Yogyakarta were chosen to participate in the study. A mathematics anxiety scale
and a questionnaire of factors influencing mathematics anxiety were utilized in
the study. The data were analysed using descriptive statistical analysis and the
findings indicate mathematics anxiety of junior high school students in Yogyakarta
is manifested mostly in cognitive symptoms. The most significant factor influencing
students’ mathematics anxiety is home, i.e. interactions with parents and siblings,
and the second factor is the classroom. Collaboration between various school
stakeholders is required to reduce students’ mathematics anxiety.
