摘要
Present project is surveying effectiveness of cooperative learning over mathematics anxiety and help seeking behaviour of first grade of high school girl students. Experimental research method was pretest - posttest type which lasted for 8 meetings. For measurement of variables has been used from mathematics anxiety questionnaire and help seeking questionnaire (acceptance and avoidance from help seeking). In respect of executing project plan in pretest level and after execution of two questionnaires, based on highest mark of mathematics anxiety, 40 students from two schools have been selected randomly matching and were put at two groups of control and experimental. Teaching some subjects from math book at control group in traditional way and in exam group has been in cooperative learning method. After termination of educational meetings, again two questionnaires of mathematics anxiety and help seeking behaviour performed over some persons. For data analysis has been used from analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Consequently results showed that cooperative learning method in comparative with traditional way, decrease mathematics anxiety in students significantly and increase help seeking behaviour and decrease its avoidance component (p<0.05) at them.
