Résumé
Emotions are important for students’ learning and achievement. In the present paper, we report on a study of ninth- and tenth-graders (N=194) in which we investigated the relations between anxiety about strategy use, learning outcomes, and gender. We found that anxiety about making a drawing to solve a modelling problem was higher in female than in male students. Further, anxiety about strategy use was negatively related to different indicators of learning outcomes: strategic knowledge about drawing, number of drawings generated spontaneously while solving modelling problems, and modelling performance. Moreover, after we controlled for intra-mathematical performance, strategic knowledge about drawing, and gender, anxiety about self-generated drawing was negatively related to the use of drawings and modelling performance. This finding indicates the importance of anxiety about strategy use for learning and performance.
