Abstract
One approach to the problem of mathematics anxiety, that of developing mathematical resilience (Lee & Johnston-Wilder, 2017) focuses on enabling learners to remain in the growth zone, where learners experience challenge and manage any threat. This approach, involving the use of three tools (the growth zone model, hand model of the brain and the relaxation response) has been successful in small-scale studies. We show here how the theory and practice of MR can be grounded in self-determination theory (SDT) (Deci & Ryan, 2000), with connections to SDT concepts of: autonomous motivation; the basic psychological needs of autonomy, competence and relatedness; and emotion regulation. Extensive research evidence has indicated that the satisfaction of basic psychological needs leads to well-being and that frustration of these needs leads to ill-being, indicating the potential of SDT to support research and practice in the specific area of ill-being known as mathematics anxiety.
