Abstract

In psychology, anxiety is one of the most common phenomena that has long been studied. Cognitive Test Anxiety is the term used to describe the emotional and psychological reactions people have when they are about to take an exam or test. The objective of this study is to identify the cluster using research variables-gender, stream, residence and CTA (Cognitive Test Anxiety) for assessing predictor significance in cluster formation. To achieve those objectives the researcher used a descriptive survey approach and took 363 arts and science postgraduate students from Sidho-Kanho-Birsha University as sample. As a statistical technique, the researcher has used a two-step clustering approach to classify the entire sample into distinct clusters. Variables such as residence, gender and stream were identified as contributors to distinct clusters and their influence on CTA. The study's conclusions showed that as the clusters grow, from 2 to 10 clusters the residence, gender, stream and CTA as predictors become highly significant. Therefore, it can be opined that change of predictors with respect to residence and gender are very high, stream is mediocre, and CTA is low for small clusters but becomes high for large number of clusters.

Hasan Aydin

Test anxiety seems like a benign problem to some people, but it can be potentially serious when it leads to high levels of distress and academic failure. The aim of this study is to define the correlation among high school senior students' test anxiety, academic performance (GPA) and points of university entrance exam (UEE). The study group of the research was composed of 194 high school senior students in Turkey. To specify students' test anxiety, " Test Anxiety Inventory " developed by Spielberge et al. and adopted into Turkish by Oner was used. The data on students' UEE points and GPA were obtained from school administration. In the result of pearson correlation analysis, it was found significant reverse correlation between students' test anxiety and points of UEE. It was also seen significant positive correlation between students' GPA and scores of UEE. Besides, in the analysis done according to gender, the result showed that although there was a significant reverse correlation between female students' test anxiety and points of UEE, it was seen a significant positive correlation between their points of UEE and their GPA. According to data analysis done for male students, significant positive correlation between male students' GPA and points of UEE occured. Following t-test results, it was found significant difference in test anxiety and GPA in favor of female students and in points of UEE in favor of male students. These findings extend the previous studies carried out on test anxiety and its reflections and encourage further studies.

Johnson OPATEYE

International Journal of Research and Innovation in Social Science, 2024

The paper focused on how learners' characteristics influenced cognitive test anxiety among students of National Open University of Nigeria. The research design used for the study was cross-sectional survey, drawing on the population of 200,000 students at 200 to 400 levels, a sample of 460 were selected using simple sampling technique. Four hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The instrument used for this study was Open and Distance Learners' Cognitive Test Anxiety Questionnaire (ODLCTAQ) constructed by the researcher. The reliability coefficient of the instrument was 0.83 using Cronbach Alpha statistics. Chi-square statistics was used to analyse the data in order to test the hypotheses. The findings showed that the influence of employment status on students' cognitive test anxiety was not significant (ꭓ 2 (6)= 3.028; P=.805) but that students' academic discipline had significant influence on students' cognitive test anxiety (ꭓ 2 (12) = 25.942; P=.011). Also, geopolitical zone of NOUN students had significant influence on cognitive test anxiety (ꭓ 2 (6)= 20.331; P=.002). It is therefore recommended that management of National Open University of Nigeria should schedule well-spaced out examination timetable in order to take care of the students who are civil servants and those that work in the private companies to have more time to prepare for examinations so as to reduce their cognitive test anxiety.
