Analytical study on anxiety and academic motivation among students

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the link between academic anxiety and students' academic performance. Random sampling was used to select 352 pupils from high school. The data was gathered using a valid and reliable standardised version of the Academic Anxiety Scale. T-tests and Correlations were used to examine the data. Students' academic achievement was found to have a negative link with their level of academic anxiety. Study participants with high and low academic anxiety were found to perform differently in the classroom, as well as students with varying levels of academic anxiety among genders. Similarly, students with low academic anxiety performed better in the classroom, as well as students with higher levels of anxiety among both genders.
