THESIS Seimnar, Prof David Putwain

The 4 Ws of test anxiety: What is it; Why is it important; Where does it come from; What can be done about it?

Anecdotal evidence would indicate that in the past five years or so, a greater number of adolescent secondary school students are seeking support to deal with the anxiety and pressure associated with preparing for, and taking, high-stakes exams. This has prompted questions such as why more students are requesting help, how many are experiencing high levels of anxiety and whether this figure is increasing, what the effects of exam anxiety might be, and what can schools do about it. In this webinar, Professor Putwain will be sharing findings from research into the prevalence of exam anxiety, relations with achievement and mental health, and interventions designed to reduce exam anxiety.
