Exploring Research Anxiety among Senior High School Students: A Quantitative Perspective
Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2024, Vol 28, Issue 8
Abstract
With the increasing emphasis given to research nowadays as a critical skill across different academic fields, understanding the factors that might contribute to research anxiety is essential for improving engagement and performance of students. With this, the study was conducted to explore the research anxiety among senior high school students in a quantitative perspective. Two hundred fifty-six (256) senior high school students from a high school in the Municpality of Calinog, Iloilo, Philippines were subjected to descriptive and inferential research in which they are selected and surveyed using a validated researcher-made questionnaire. The result showed that as an entire group it was found that the respondents had a high level of research anxiety. Inferential analysis revealed no significant differences on the research anxiety levels of the respondents when classified as to sex; both male and female students were the same in terms of their level anxiety towards research. On the other hand, significant differences were observed between students in the academic and Technical-Vocational Livelihood (TVL) track in which TVL respondents showed a higher research anxiety level than their counterparts in the academic track. Finally, the respondents who are taking Practical Research 2 (Quantitative Research) showed a higher level of anxiety compared to those who are taking Practical Research 1 (Qualitative Research). It can be suggested from the result that sex does not significantly influence research anxiety, but instead the academic track and type of research subject taking highlighting the need for targeted interventions to support students, especially those in the TVL track and those undertaking quantitative research.
