Many public health students struggle with graduate-level mathematics due to past negative experiences, not inherent difficulty. This study explores a pedagogical approach to improve math comprehension and confidence.

Area of Science:

  • Mathematics Education
  • Public Health Pedagogy

Context:

  • Graduate-level public health courses often present mathematical concepts.
  • Students frequently experience anxiety and apprehension towards learning mathematics in this context.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the root causes of mathematical difficulties among public health students.
  • To propose and evaluate an effective pedagogical approach for teaching mathematics in public health.

Summary:

  • Findings indicate that prior negative educational experiences significantly contribute to students' math anxiety.
  • Classroom environment and the integration of real-world experiences are crucial for effective mathematical learning.
  • The study emphasizes a pedagogical strategy focused on building confidence and relevance.
