Teachers teach and students learn and many scientists are interested in finding ways to improve both the teaching and learning processes Some researchers such as Sian Beilock and Susan Levine are trying to learn about learning Beilock and Levine are psychologists at the University of Chicago Psychologists study the ways people think and behave and these researchers want to know how a person s thoughts and behavior are related In a new study about the way kids learn math in elementary school Beilock and Levine found a surprising relationship between what female teachers think and what female students learn If a female teacher is uncomfortable with her own math skills then her female students are more likely to believe that boys are better than girls at math If these girls keep getting math anxious female teachers in later grades itit maymay createcreate a a snowballsnowball effecteffect onon theirtheir mathmath achievementachievement Levine told Science News The study suggests that if these girls grow up believing that boys are better at math than girls are then these girls may not do as well as they would have if they were more confident Just as students find certain subjects to be difficult teachers can find certain subjects to be difficult to learn and teach The subject of math can be particularly difficult for everyone Researchers use the word anxiety to describe such feelings anxiety is uneasiness or worry Many people for example have anxiety about going to the dentist because they re worried about pain 4 The new study found that when a teacher has anxiety about math that feeling can influence how her female students feel about math The study involved 65 girls 52 boys and 17 first and second grade teachers in elementary schools in the Midwest The students took math achievement tests at the beginning and end of the school year and the researchers compared the scores The researchers also gave the students tests to tell whether the students believed that a math superstar had to be a boy Then the researchers turned to the teachers To find out which teachers were anxious about math the researchers asked the teachers how they felt at times when they came across math such as when reading a sales receipt A teacher who got nervous looking at the numbers on a sales receipt for example was probably anxious about math Boys on average were unaffected by a teacher s anxiety On average girls with math anxious teachers scored lower on the end of the year math tests than other girls in the study did Plus on the test showing whether someone thought a math superstar had to be a boy 20 girls showed feeling that boys would be better at math and all of these girls had been taught by female teachers who had math anxiety According to surveys done before this one college students who want to become elementary school teachers have the highest levels of anxiety about math Plus nine of every 10 elementary teachers are women Levine said This study was small and it s often difficult to see large patterns in small studies David Geary told Science News Geary a psychologist at the University of Missouri in Columbia studies how children learn math This is an interesting study but the results need to be interpreted as preliminary and in need of replication with a larger sample Geary said That means that the results are just showing something that might be happening but more studies should be done If more studies find the same trend as this one then it s 5 possible that a teacher s anxiety over math really is affecting her female students 50 Sian Beilock and Susan Levine carried out the new research in order to A know the effects of teaching on learning B study students ways of learning math C prove women teachers are unfit to teach math D find better teaching methods for teachers 51 The underlined part in paragraph 4 most probably means that girls may A end up learning math with anxiety from their teachers B study the ways their female teachers behave C have an influence on their math anxious female teachers D gain unexpected achievement in such subjects as math 52 In the study what were the teachers required to do A Prepare two math achievement tests for the students B Tell their feelings about math problems C Answer whether a math superstar had to be a boy D Compare the students scores after the math tests 53 What is the finding of the new study A No male students were affected by their teachers anxiety B Almost all the girls got lower scores in the tests than the boys C About 30 of the girls thought boys are better at math than girls D Girls with math anxious teachers all failed in the math tests 54 Which of the following is TRUETRUE according to the text A 117 students and teachers took part in the new study B The researchers felt surprised at the findings of their study C Beilock and Levine are interested in teaching math D Men teachers are better at teaching math than women
