This study investigates the relationship between math anxiety, math-related values, and performance in numerical tasks among adolescents with and without Specific Learning Disorders. Participants completed a screening phase and an experimental math task. Results indicate that students with DSA report higher anxiety levels and more negative math-related values, along with lower performance compared to typically developing peers. Findings highlight the relevance of emotional and motivational factors in supporting students with learning difficulties and suggest the need for targeted interventions that address both academic and psychological needs.
La presente ricerca esplora la relazione tra ansia per la matematica, valori attribuiti alla matematica e prestazione in compiti matematici in adolescenti con e senza Disturbo Specifico dell’Apprendimento. Il campione ha partecipato ad una fase di screening e ad una prova sperimentale. I risultati mostrano che i ragazzi con DSA riportano maggiore ansia e un valore percepito più negativo verso la matematica, con prestazioni inferiori rispetto al gruppo di controllo. Lo studio evidenzia l’importanza di considerare aspetti emotivo-motivazionali nel supporto scolastico degli studenti con DSA.

Abstract
This study investigates the relationship between math anxiety, math-related values, and performance in numerical tasks among adolescents with and without Specific Learning Disorders. Participants completed a screening phase and an experimental math task. Results indicate that students with DSA report higher anxiety levels and more negative math-related values, along with lower performance compared to typically developing peers. Findings highlight the relevance of emotional and motivational factors in supporting students with learning difficulties and suggest the need for targeted interventions that address both academic and psychological needs.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
