ABSTRACT
This study was conducted in an undergraduate level with the use of e-learning
particularly in analytic geometry to lessen the common fear of Filipino students to
mathematics. Since teen age students used to engross themselves with the use of
technology specifically computers, this study maximized the capability of computers
in reducing math anxiety by teaching mathematics subject using e-learning thus
improving student academic performance.
Keywords: Math Anxiety, E-learning, academic performance, learning in
mathematics
INTRODUCTION
Computer-based technologies are now commonplace in classrooms, and the integration of
these media into the teaching and learning of mathematics is supported by government policy
in most developed countries. However, many questions about the impact of computer-based
technologies on classroom mathematics learning remain unanswered, and debates about when
and how they ought to be used continue (Lynch, 2006).
There are a lot of advantages in using e-learning in the in-school and off-school settings in
the Philippines. It allows interactivity between the lesson and the learner. The
individualization of each learner is enhanced (Manzano, 2002).
It is a common fact that most of the college students tend to choose courses on the basis that
the particular course has less mathematics subjects and that the students tend to consider that
mathematics is a very hard subject.
The authors consider fear in mathematics particularly called mathematics anxiety which can
be reduced if the lessons will be presented using the computer and particularly be
implemented as an E-learning.
Analytic Geometry was the subject for consideration since the subjects deals with diagrams,
drawing of figures, translating formula into figures which was presented in animation and
using different multimedia application techniques which are part of E-learning.
The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BSCS) students who are enrolled in Math 4 –
Analytic Geometry were the subjects of the study. The subject was offered during the first
semester of Second year level. Two sections were used for the study, one as the experimental
group and the other as the control group. The pairing of students was done based on the final
grades of the students to the two subjects (Algebra and Trigonometry) that they have taken
prior to Analytic Geometry.

E-learning as an additional mode of teaching Analytic Geometry was used to determine the
math anxiety among students thus before and after the study, enhancing the student
performance in the subject.
With the commitment of the College of Computer Studies (CCS) to its research agenda
entitled “ICT Use and Utilization for the Improvement of Delivery of Instruction”, this
research would be an addition to the efforts of the college to be true to its mission to provide
quality IT education.
The result of this research will provide more avenues for more researches that can be
conducted by the college.
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The objectives of this study are as follows : (1). use and implement a previously developed E-
learning on selected topics (circle and parabola) in Analytic Geometry that can be presented
in an interesting manner and provide graphical presentation of the figures and diagrams of
formulas in Analytic Geometry with animation for easy understanding of the students; (2).
adopt and use an instrument to determine the level of math anxiety of CCS students; and (3)
determine the level of math anxiety of students as can be reduced by using an E-learning on
selected topics in Analytic Geometry and their attitude towards mathematics.
Math Anxiety
Mathematics anxiety which can be extreme is often caused by having a negative attitude due
to a previous bad experience. Studies show that one-half of all students in a developmental
mathematics class suffer forms of this type of anxiety. The good news is that a student can
manage this behavior but must learn to manage both the stress as well as improve the basic
mathematic skills.
According to Nordin (2008), teachers need to be aware of the effects of anxiety on students’
achievement and motivation. They should make an effort to lessen anxiety on these students.
Teachers should develop teaching strategies that help highly anxious students.
The study by Nordin investigated whether there was a statistical difference between
matriculation students’ motivation and achievement when they were classified according to
the math anxiety levels. Further, that study also sought to find out whether there was a
significant correlation between (a) mathematics anxiety and motivation, and (b) mathematics
anxiety and achievement.
Technology in Education - E-learning
According to the dissertation of Akir (2006), the most exciting feature about technology
enhanced education is the abundance of communication tools available. Learning is a
communication process. Two-way communication is vital for learning to occur. When
students have questions, instructors need to provide feedback and students need to discuss
among themselves. Such interactivity is facilitated with the tools now available in classroom
and online education applications.
Through communication, learners can share their experiences, discuss with instructors and
peers asynchronously or in real.
According to Chiang (2005), several problems exist in the process of teaching in the
traditional, non-electronic classroom. With limitations on space and time, it is very difficult
for one teacher to provide equally effectively for all students in a class given their differing
abilities, interests, preferences and learning styles. The reiterative and simultaneous
characteristic of e-learning system improves above problem and promotes adaptive learning.

Also, web-based learning systems and electronic materials allow users to repeat exercises and
to learn simultaneously. This learning mode helps overcome the limitations of time and space
in the classroom. It also promotes adaptive learning in a class with one teacher and many
students.
In the study of Dharaksar (2005), the innovative e-learning techniques have drastically
reduced the teaching time of computer graphics. The experience shows that these e-learning
techniques make the teaching-learning process four times faster than classrooms teaching.
The new method is more effective than traditional methods of teaching. It also helps a lot for
the memory retention process of students for this subject and thus 60% classroom teaching
can be replaced using the technique.
An article from the Data Access Center entitled “Computer – Aided Instructions and
Mathematics “revealed that “Computer-assisted instruction improves instruction for students
with disabilities because students receive immediate feedback and do not continue to practice
the wrong skills. Many computer programs can move through instruction at the student’s
pace and keep track of the student’s errors and progress. Computers capture the students’
attention because the programs are interactive and engage the students’ spirit of
competitiveness to increase their scores. Also, computer-assisted instruction moves at the
students’ pace and usually does not move ahead until they have mastered the skill. Programs
provide differentiated lessons to challenge students who are at risk, average, or gifted”.
Figure 1. Framework
Subjects of the Study
This study was limited to the investigation on the effects of e-learning to the math anxiety
and attitude of the students towards mathematics.
Specifically, the experimental study was conducted at the Lyceum of the Philippines –
Batangas during the First Semester, school year 2008-2009, on students enrolled in Math 4 –
Analytic Geometry particularly on the topics of circles and parabolas. Further, the study was
conducted for a period of 4 weeks for the period of after Midterm up to Semifinal Exam
(August to September).
Two sections of BSCS – Bachelor of Science in Computer Science were used such that one
section was taught by E-learning using the blended mode (BSCS II-A) and the other (BSCS
II-B) was subjected to the traditional class and the other section was subjected to e-learning.

The effects of e-learning in reducing math anxiety were measured by using instruments
adopted from different studies.
There were 20 students in each section. They were initially classified into three ability groups
based on their average grades in all mathematics taken (Algebra and Trigonometry) prior to
Analytic Geometry. The data were taken from the OPRHA system and the classification of
the students according to mathematical ability followed the guide.
Table 1. Classification of Students According to Mathematical Ability
Grade Point Average Mathematical Ability
88 – Above Above Average
84 – 87.99 Average
Below – 83.99 Below Average
Since Lyceum of the Philippines University Batangas adopt the grade point average by using
a transmutation table, the following table will be used to convert the grade point average.
Table 2. Conversion of Grade Point Average
The Attitude Scale
To assess the attitude of the participants towards mathematics, the attitude scale developed by
Sillorequez (1997) was used. This instrument was designed to measure attitude towards
mathematics as a school subject and towards its application in life.
This instrument is a Likert-scale type which consists of 30 items, 15 of which are positively
oriented and the other 15, negatively oriented. Its reliability coefficient is high (0.91), which
means that the instrument has high internal consistency reliability.
Scoring was based on the respondent’s agreement or disagreement with each statement using
the 5-point scale as follows:

Mean Scores of the respondents in the attitude scale were interpreted as follows:
Table 4. Mean Scores in the Attitude Scale
Mean Score Level of Attitude Towards Mathematic
4.20 – 5.00 Very positive/Very favourable attitude
3.40 – 4.19 Positive/Favourable attitude
2.60 – 3.29 Undecided/Neither positive nor Negative attitude
1.80 – 2.59 Negative/Favourable attitude
1.00 – 1.79 Very negative/ Very unfavourable attitude
Data Analysis
The mean and standard deviation were used to describe the grades of the students in the
mathematics subjects that they have taken prior to Analytic Geometry. The GPA for Algebra
and Trigonometry were computed both for the control and experimental groups.
The t-test for dependent samples were used to determine if there is significant difference
between the scores of the students using the blended mode and traditional mode. To
determine if there is significant difference between the students who were taught using
traditional mode of teaching and e-learning mode, the t-test for independent samples were
used.
To find out if the effect of e-learning mode is moderated by mathematical abilities of the
students, the two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used.
All statistical computations were processed using the SPSS (Statistical Packages for Social
Sciences).
RESULTS
Comparability of the Control and Experimental Group
To assure that the control and the experimental groups were initially comparable before the
actual experiment, the two groups were compared in terms of grade point average. The
students were categorized based on the grade point averages of the control and experimental
group.

Table 1 shows that 5 students or 25 percent of the control group are above average compared
to the 8 students of 40% of the experimental group. In terms of the average students, there is
only 1 or 5 percent of the control group while there are 4 students or 20 percent in the
experimental group. There is a trend that the experimental group is better than the control
group since the number also of below average students’ favours the experimental group since
there are 14 students or 70 percent below average for the control group while the
experimental group has only 8 students or 40 percent only. It also shows that majority of both
classes are dominated by below average students. Also, since less of the students belong to
the above average group; new ways of teaching mathematics should be delivered to enhance
learning of the students.

Table 6 shows the grade point average of the students in the control group based on the
average of the mathematics taken such as College Algebra and Plane and Spherical
Trigonometry prior to their subject Analytic Geometry. Since the average is arranged from
highest to lowest so as to get the pairing of each student in the control group to the
experimental group, it showed that the highest is 1.38 while the lowest is 2.88.
The overall mean also reflected that in addition to the result of table 1, majority of the
students in the control group are below average as shown by the overall mean of 2.42.

Table 7 shows the grade point average of the students in the experimental group of the
mathematics subjects taken such as College Algebra and Plane and Spherical Trigonometry
prior to Analytic Geometry. The overall mean of 2.22 also showed that majority of the
students in the experimental group are below average also like the control group.

will be used to at least reduce or finally remove fear of mathematics being experienced by the
participants.

Table 12 shows the values obtained by doing the t-test for paired samples to test the
hypothesis. Using the two-tailed test, the results showed that there is no significant difference
in the mathematical ability of the two groups as shown by the t-test value of 0.0000029560 <
the tabular value of 0.196016. As such, the assumption that the two groups can be paired is in
order to test the effect of the e-learning is justifiable.
CONCLUSIONS
Topics on circles and parabolas are to be taught using the e-learning since these topics can
best be presented through diagrams that needs animation and visual presentation that will
enhance the learning of students Also, as a product of another finished study, a developed
module on e-learning of the said topics was used to determine its effects on students
academic performance.
An existing non-standardized instrument available in the internet was adopted to measure the
level of math anxiety of the participants. Also, an instrument to measure the attitude of
students towards mathematics, developed through the dissertation of Sillorequez, was used
since it was developed and validated for the purpose.
It was found out from the results of the exams for the particular topics that there is a positive
effect on the use of e-learning since there is an improved score of the experimental class on
the topics considered thus reducing math anxiety.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the findings of the study, the following are suggested for the college to consider
enhancement of their curriculum for future course offerings in the College of Computer
Studies.
For the administration to continuously provide the necessary facilities especially in the
computer laboratories to meet the demands of the respective courses being offered; The use
of e-learning not only in the major subjects of BSCS students especially on the subjects of
mathematics will entail additional computer laboratory hours used and that mathematics
being considered as a general education subjects will also be conducted inside the computer
laboratory using the e-learning mode of teaching.
A similar study should be replicated to other courses with more mathematics subjects in order
to further validate the results of the study not only to CCS students. Thus, the same e-learning
module used in this study is used also in teaching the same topics to non-CCS students taking
Analytic Geometry.

Faculty members teaching mathematics should find an alternative way of teaching
mathematics by integrating technology in the classroom like using e-learning to enhance the
interest of the students to mathematics and finally reduce the math anxiety and improve the
attitude of students towards mathematics.
For further study, standardized instrument should be used in order to validate the results of
the present study.

Alday1 , Alona B. Panaligan2 1 College of Computer Studies, 2 College of Arts and Sciences, Lyceum of the Philippines University – Batangas, PHILIPPINES. 1 roselie_alday@yahoo.com, 2 alon_panaligan@yahoo.com ABSTRACT This study was conducted in an undergraduate level with the use of e-learning particularly in analytic geometry to lessen the common fear of Filipino students to mathematics. Since teen age students used to engross themselves with the use of technology specifically computers, this study maximized the capability of computers in reducing math anxiety by teaching mathematics subject using e-learning thus improving student academic performance. Keywords: Math Anxiety, E-learning, academic performance, learning in mathematics INTRODUCTION Computer-based technologies are now commonplace in classrooms, and the integration of these media into the teaching and learning of mathematics is supported by government policy in most developed countries. However, many questions about the impact of computer-based technologies on classroom mathematics learning remain unanswered, and debates about when and how they ought to be used continue (Lynch, 2006). There are a lot of advantages in using e-learning in the in-school and off-school settings in the Philippines. It allows interactivity between the lesson and the learner. The individualization of each learner is enhanced (Manzano, 2002). It is a common fact that most of the college students tend to choose courses on the basis that the particular course has less mathematics subjects and that the students tend to consider that mathematics is a very hard subject. The authors consider fear in mathematics particularly called mathematics anxiety which can be reduced if the lessons will be presented using the computer and particularly be implemented as an E-learning. Analytic Geometry was the subject for consideration since the subjects deals with diagrams, drawing of figures, translating formula into figures which was presented in animation and using different multimedia application techniques which are part of E-learning. The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BSCS) students who are enrolled in Math 4 – Analytic Geometry were the subjects of the study. The subject was offered during the first semester of Second year level. Two sections were used for the study, one as the experimental group and the other as the control group. The pairing of students was done based on the final grades of the students to the two subjects (Algebra and Trigonometry) that they have taken prior to Analytic Geometry.

With the commitment of the College of Computer Studies (CCS) to its research agenda entitled “ICT Use and Utilization for the Improvement of Delivery of Instruction”, this research would be an addition to the efforts of the college to be true to its mission to provide quality IT education. The result of this research will provide more avenues for more researches that can be conducted by the college. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY The objectives of this study are as follows : (1). use and implement a previously developed E- learning on selected topics (circle and parabola) in Analytic Geometry that can be presented in an interesting manner and provide graphical presentation of the figures and diagrams of formulas in Analytic Geometry with animation for easy understanding of the students; (2). adopt and use an instrument to determine the level of math anxiety of CCS students; and (3) determine the level of math anxiety of students as can be reduced by using an E-learning on selected topics in Analytic Geometry and their attitude towards mathematics. Math Anxiety Mathematics anxiety which can be extreme is often caused by having a negative attitude due to a previous bad experience. Studies show that one-half of all students in a developmental mathematics class suffer forms of this type of anxiety. The good news is that a student can manage this behavior but must learn to manage both the stress as well as improve the basic mathematic skills. According to Nordin (2008), teachers need to be aware of the effects of anxiety on students’ achievement and motivation. They should make an effort to lessen anxiety on these students. Teachers should develop teaching strategies that help highly anxious students. The study by Nordin investigated whether there was a statistical difference between matriculation students’ motivation and achievement when they were classified according to the math anxiety levels. Further, that study also sought to find out whether there was a significant correlation between (a) mathematics anxiety and motivation, and (b) mathematics anxiety and achievement. Technology in Education - E-learning According to the dissertation of Akir (2006), the most exciting feature about technology enhanced education is the abundance of communication tools available. Learning is a communication process. Two-way communication is vital for learning to occur. When students have questions, instructors need to provide feedback and students need to discuss among themselves. Such interactivity is facilitated with the tools now available in classroom and online education applications. Through communication, learners can share their experiences, discuss with instructors and peers asynchronously or in real. According to Chiang (2005), several problems exist in the process of teaching in the traditional, non-electronic classroom. With limitations on space and time, it is very difficult for one teacher to provide equally effectively for all students in a class given their differing abilities, interests, preferences and learning styles. The reiterative and simultaneous characteristic of e-learning system improves above problem and promotes adaptive learning.

This learning mode helps overcome the limitations of time and space in the classroom. It also promotes adaptive learning in a class with one teacher and many students. In the study of Dharaksar (2005), the innovative e-learning techniques have drastically reduced the teaching time of computer graphics. The experience shows that these e-learning techniques make the teaching-learning process four times faster than classrooms teaching. The new method is more effective than traditional methods of teaching. It also helps a lot for the memory retention process of students for this subject and thus 60% classroom teaching can be replaced using the technique. An article from the Data Access Center entitled “Computer – Aided Instructions and Mathematics “revealed that “Computer-assisted instruction improves instruction for students with disabilities because students receive immediate feedback and do not continue to practice the wrong skills. Many computer programs can move through instruction at the student’s pace and keep track of the student’s errors and progress. Computers capture the students’ attention because the programs are interactive and engage the students’ spirit of competitiveness to increase their scores. Also, computer-assisted instruction moves at the students’ pace and usually does not move ahead until they have mastered the skill. Programs provide differentiated lessons to challenge students who are at risk, average, or gifted”. Figure 1. Framework Subjects of the Study This study was limited to the investigation on the effects of e-learning to the math anxiety and attitude of the students towards mathematics. Specifically, the experimental study was conducted at the Lyceum of the Philippines – Batangas during the First Semester, school year 2008-2009, on students enrolled in Math 4 – Analytic Geometry particularly on the topics of circles and parabolas. Further, the study was conducted for a period of 4 weeks for the period of after Midterm up to Semifinal Exam (August to September). Two sections of BSCS – Bachelor of Science in Computer Science were used such that one section was taught by E-learning using the blended mode (BSCS II-A) and the other (BSCS II-B) was subjected to the traditional class and the other section was subjected to e-learning.

There were 20 students in each section. They were initially classified into three ability groups based on their average grades in all mathematics taken (Algebra and Trigonometry) prior to Analytic Geometry. The data were taken from the OPRHA system and the classification of the students according to mathematical ability followed the guide. Table 1. Classification of Students According to Mathematical Ability Grade Point Average Mathematical Ability 88 – Above Above Average 84 – 87.99 Average Below – 83.99 Below Average Since Lyceum of the Philippines University Batangas adopt the grade point average by using a transmutation table, the following table will be used to convert the grade point average. Table 2. Conversion of Grade Point Average The Attitude Scale To assess the attitude of the participants towards mathematics, the attitude scale developed by Sillorequez (1997) was used. This instrument was designed to measure attitude towards mathematics as a school subject and towards its application in life. This instrument is a Likert-scale type which consists of 30 items, 15 of which are positively oriented and the other 15, negatively oriented. Its reliability coefficient is high (0.91), which means that the instrument has high internal consistency reliability. Scoring was based on the respondent’s agreement or disagreement with each statement using the 5-point scale as follows: Table 3.

Mean Scores in the Attitude Scale Mean Score Level of Attitude Towards Mathematic 4.20 – 5.00 Very positive/Very favourable attitude 3.40 – 4.19 Positive/Favourable attitude 2.60 – 3.29 Undecided/Neither positive nor Negative attitude 1.80 – 2.59 Negative/Favourable attitude 1.00 – 1.79 Very negative/ Very unfavourable attitude Data Analysis The mean and standard deviation were used to describe the grades of the students in the mathematics subjects that they have taken prior to Analytic Geometry. The GPA for Algebra and Trigonometry were computed both for the control and experimental groups. The t-test for dependent samples were used to determine if there is significant difference between the scores of the students using the blended mode and traditional mode. To determine if there is significant difference between the students who were taught using traditional mode of teaching and e-learning mode, the t-test for independent samples were used. To find out if the effect of e-learning mode is moderated by mathematical abilities of the students, the two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used. All statistical computations were processed using the SPSS (Statistical Packages for Social Sciences). RESULTS Comparability of the Control and Experimental Group To assure that the control and the experimental groups were initially comparable before the actual experiment, the two groups were compared in terms of grade point average. The students were categorized based on the grade point averages of the control and experimental group. Table 5.

In terms of the average students, there is only 1 or 5 percent of the control group while there are 4 students or 20 percent in the experimental group. There is a trend that the experimental group is better than the control group since the number also of below average students’ favours the experimental group since there are 14 students or 70 percent below average for the control group while the experimental group has only 8 students or 40 percent only. It also shows that majority of both classes are dominated by below average students. Also, since less of the students belong to the above average group; new ways of teaching mathematics should be delivered to enhance learning of the students. Table 6.

Since the average is arranged from highest to lowest so as to get the pairing of each student in the control group to the experimental group, it showed that the highest is 1.38 while the lowest is 2.88. The overall mean also reflected that in addition to the result of table 1, majority of the students in the control group are below average as shown by the overall mean of 2.42. Table 7.

T-test results for Paired Samples (Two-tailed Test) t-test result GPA 0.0000029560 Scores in Circle 0.0000753677 Scores in Parabola 0.0000302733 Attitude in Math 0.8886276600 Math Anxiety Text 0.3506699550 Table 12 shows the values obtained by doing the t-test for paired samples to test the hypothesis. Using the two-tailed test, the results showed that there is no significant difference in the mathematical ability of the two groups as shown by the t-test value of 0.0000029560 < the tabular value of 0.196016. As such, the assumption that the two groups can be paired is in order to test the effect of the e-learning is justifiable. CONCLUSIONS Topics on circles and parabolas are to be taught using the e-learning since these topics can best be presented through diagrams that needs animation and visual presentation that will enhance the learning of students Also, as a product of another finished study, a developed module on e-learning of the said topics was used to determine its effects on students academic performance. An existing non-standardized instrument available in the internet was adopted to measure the level of math anxiety of the participants. Also, an instrument to measure the attitude of students towards mathematics, developed through the dissertation of Sillorequez, was used since it was developed and validated for the purpose. It was found out from the results of the exams for the particular topics that there is a positive effect on the use of e-learning since there is an improved score of the experimental class on the topics considered thus reducing math anxiety. RECOMMENDATIONS Based on the findings of the study, the following are suggested for the college to consider enhancement of their curriculum for future course offerings in the College of Computer Studies. For the administration to continuously provide the necessary facilities especially in the computer laboratories to meet the demands of the respective courses being offered; The use of e-learning not only in the major subjects of BSCS students especially on the subjects of mathematics will entail additional computer laboratory hours used and that mathematics being considered as a general education subjects will also be conducted inside the computer laboratory using the e-learning mode of teaching. A similar study should be replicated to other courses with more mathematics subjects in order to further validate the results of the study not only to CCS students. Thus, the same e-learning module used in this study is used also in teaching the same topics to non-CCS students taking Analytic Geometry.
