TEST- ANXIETY AND ACHIEVEMENT OF B.ED STUDENT TEACHERS
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 10
Abstract
As a part of formative assessment B. Ed student teachers were supposed to have individual presentations of some elements/topics from their trimester course work. It was observed by the researcher that student-teachers feel anxiety before and during presentations. Once, when quite a good number of student-teachers were found absent in the class during the trimester, and when asked for, one of the student-teachers present in the class answered, “When it comes to presentations/ test / examinations and now our examination is approaching fast, they feel like dying or committing suicide.” To author, that was an enough sufficient indication of anxiety among the student-teachers studying at tertiary level. Hence it was decided by the authors to find out through this mini research the anxiety in these student-teachers. One self-made test anxiety inventory was administered to them and the observations and results have been recorded. It was evident from this work that student-teachers at tertiary level also face anxiety and related problems.It was also compared with the exam scores of the subjects. If they are, “Test-wise”, the anxiety and related problems would be minimal. So, they need to be, “Test-wise”.
