Abstract

The process of learning mathematics, anxiety is a supporting and inhibiting factor for student learning achievement, especially in learning logarithm material. Difficulties in the form of anxiety are one of the emotional factors of students. Anxiety can also be a useful stimulus because each student has a different level of anxiety in facing certain material; this can be known and measured by distributed questionnaires the sample class. Anxiety adaptation is a way to overcome anxiety in problem solving activities. This study aimed to determine the general description of anxiety levels in tenth grade students (in Roman numerals X) dealing with of logarithm material. The form of this research is a quantitative research. The instrument used was a logarithmic test and a mathematics anxiety questionnaire consisting of 30 statements, which included attitude, somatic, cognitive, and mathematical understanding aspects. The results showed that mathematical anxiety had a very high influence on students' mathematical understanding and mathematics learning abilities. The hope, this research can be used by academics in the world of education to support the success of mathematics learning.
