| Abstract | Mathematics-related learning difficulties and emotional barriers such as math anxiety are increasingly recognized as significant challenges among college students. The present study aimed to assess the prevalence of dyscalculia and math anxiety among college students. A cross-sectional descriptive research design was adopted, and the study was conducted among 60 undergraduate and postgraduate students aged 18–25 years from arts, science, and commerce streams, selected using a stratified random sampling technique. Data were collected using a self-structured questionnaire designed to assess math anxiety levels and related learning difficulties. Descriptive statistical methods, including frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation, were used for data analysis. The results revealed that a substantial proportion of students experienced moderate to high levels of math anxiety, indicating that math anxiety is prevalent among college students. The findings highlight the need for early identification, academic support, and targeted interventions to reduce math anxiety and address learning difficulties related to mathematics. The study emphasizes the importance of creating supportive learning environments in higher education institutions to enhance students’ confidence and performance in mathematics. |
