قلق الامتحان وعلاقته بالدافعية للإنجاز لدى طلاب التعليم الجامعي ( دراسة ميدانية على طلاب كلية التربية – جنزور)

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between exam anxiety and achievement motivation among students at the Faculty of Education, Janzour. Specifically, it seeks to answer the following questions:

• What is the level of exam anxiety among students at the Faculty of Education, Janzour?
• What is the level of achievement motivation among these students?
• Is there a statistically significant relationship between exam anxiety and achievement motivation among the students?

A descriptive-analytical research design was employed. The study sample comprised 145 female students. Two standardized instruments were used to collect data: an exam anxiety scale and an achievement motivation scale. Both instruments were tested for validity and reliability to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the measurements.

The findings reveal that the students generally exhibited low levels of exam anxiety while demonstrating high levels of achievement motivation. Furthermore, no statistically significant correlation was observed between exam anxiety and achievement motivation among the study sample.

These results suggest that, within this context, exam anxiety does not significantly influence students’ motivation to achieve, highlighting the need for targeted interventions that focus on other potential factors affecting achievement motivation.
