Abstract

The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of station rotation model on the level of learning and academic anxiety of female students in fifth grade mathematics course in Ashtian city in the academic year of 2021-2022. The research method used was quasi-experimental. The statistical population studied in this research included all fifth grade female students of Ashtian city, from which 28 people were selected using available sampling method and were randomly divided into two groups of 14 people, test and control, and took the test to measure progress. The researcher answered the standard academic anxiety questionnaire of Sarason (1984) in mathematics lesson. For data analysis, multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) was used using spss-23 software. The results showed that the application of the station rotation model is significantly effective on the learning rate of mathematics lessons with an impact factor of 91% and academic anxiety with an impact factor of 77%. So that the rotation model of the station increased learning in mathematics and reduced the academic anxiety of students in the experimental group (p<0.05). It is suggested that teachers use the station rotation model in education to witness the improvement of learning results and the reduction of academic anxiety, and it is also necessary to conduct research on the station rotation model and its effect on other subjects and different educational levels.
