Empowering Teachers with Robotics Video Tools for Reducing Math Anxiety

Abstract: Reducing mathematics anxiety in primary education requires empowering teachers with effective, practical strategies. This study explores a blended professional development approach that combines educational robotics and scenario-based video resources to help teachers create engaging and emotionally supportive math classrooms. The training model integrates modular theoretical content, real-life teaching videos, and interactive digital tools to enhance instructional confidence and promote student-centered learning. By addressing both emotional and pedagogical aspects of teaching, the approach supports reduced anxiety, improved student motivation, and stronger engagement with STEM subjects.
