Even though mathematics is in our everyday life, many studies indicated that from primary education to higher education students reacted fearfully, hatefully and anxiously in mathematics. Based on literature review about mathematics anxiety, this study reviewed the definitions of mathematics anxiety and the possible causes of mathematics anxiety. In addition to this, this study discussed such causes of mathematics anxiety as personality, parents, peers and teachers in details. In the conclusion part of this study, general evaluation of the literature and suggestions were given.

Matematikten Nefret Ediyorum!

Öz

Her ne kadar matematik günlük yaşantımızda yer alsa da birçok araştırma; ilköğretimden üniversite dönemine kadar öğrencilerde matematik dersine karşı korku, nefret ve kaygı gibi tepkilerin olduğunu ortaya çıkarmıştır. Matematik kaygısı alanındaki yazına dayalı olarak yapılan bu derleme çalışmasında; matematik kaygısının tanımı ve kaygıya neden olabilecek durumlar değerlendirilmiştir. Aynı şekilde, matematik kaygısına neden olan faktörler içinden öğrencinin kendisi, ailesi, arkadaşları ve öğretmenler ile ilgili durumlar detaylı bir şekilde ele alınmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucunda da alanda yapılan çalışmaların genel bir değerlendirilmesi ve önerilere yer verilmiştir.
