To that end, a purposive sample of 472 students of such course was collected and the instrument of Hopko, Mahadevan, Bare and Hunt was adjusted to it (2003). Data collected were analyzed with the statistical program SPSS applying the corresponding hypothesis tests. According with the results, students showed a medium level of math anxiety and women showed a math anxiety significantly higher than men, while student graduated from private schools showed a significantly lower level of math anxiety than those from public schools or from the modality “General Equivalency Diploma”. Besides, the higher the math anxiety of the student is, the lower their academic achievement will be. Finally, there were no statistically significant differences between math anxiety and the number of times students have taken the course.El estudio buscó determinar la relación entre ansiedad matemática y las variables género, rendimiento académico, cantidad de veces que ha llevado el curso y tipo de colegio, en estudiantes del curso MAT-001 Matemática General de la Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica.

Los datos recolectados fueron analizados con el programa estadístico SPSS aplicando las pruebas de hipótesis correspondientes. De acuerdo con los resultados,  se encontró que los estudiantes presentaron un nivel medio de ansiedad Matemática y que las mujeres mostraron una ansiedad matemática significativamente mayor que los hombres; mientras que los estudiantes egresados de colegios privados obtuvieron una ansiedad matemática significativamente menor que los provenientes de colegios públicos o de la modalidad de “bachillerato por madurez”. De igual forma resultó que entre mayor es la ansiedad matemática del estudiante su rendimiento académico será significativamente menor. Por último, no se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre  la ansiedad matemática y la cantidad de veces que el estudiante ha llevado el curso.Universidad San Ignacio de Loyola S.A.2017-04-10info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdftext/htmlhttp://revistas.usil.edu.pe/index.php/pyr/article/view/14810.20511/pyr2017.v5n1.148Propósitos y Representaciones.
