Abstract

This study aimed at examining the effectiveness of study skills training and systematic desensitization in reducing test anxiety and improving academic self-efficacy among sample of tenth grade students at Ajloun governorate. The population of the study consisted of 186 tenth grade students at a primary school in Ajloon district. To achieve the purpose of the study, two scales were used: An Arabic version of Spielberger's test anxiety scale and an academic self-efficacy scale. Forty-five students were identified as test anxious based on their scores on the test anxiety scale; these students were randomly assigned to three groups (15 per each), two experimental groups and one control group. One of the experimental groups received a study skills training program (SSTP), and the other received systematic desensitization (SD), while the control group didn't receive any treatment program. The result showed that both SSTP and SD were more effective than no treatment in reducing test anxiety in the post test. However the SSTP was the most effective in improving academic self-efficacy in the post test and in the follow-up test.

الملخص

هدفت الدراسة الحالية إلى اختبار فاعلية التدريب على مهارات الدراسة وتقليل الحساسية المنتظم في خفض قلق الاختبار وتحسين الفاعلية الذاتية الأكاديمية. وتكوَن مجتمع الدراسة من (186) طالباً في الصف العاشر في إحدى مدارس محافظة عجلون. ولتحقيق أهداف الدراسة، استُخدمت نسخة معرّبة من مقياس شبيلبيرجر لقلق الاختبار، كما استُخدم مقياسٌ آخر للفاعلية الذاتية الأكاديمية. وبناءً على درجات أفراد مجتمع الدراسة على مقياس قلق الاختبار، اُختيرت عينة الدراسة التي تكونت من (45) طالباً وزعوا عشوائياً إلى ثلاث مجموعات: مجموعتين تجريبيتين ومجموعة ضابطة. وتألفت كل مجموعة من (15) طالباً، تلقت المجموعة التجريبية الأولى برنامج تدريب على مهارات الدراسة، وتلقت المجموعة التجريبية الثانية برنامج تقليل الحساسية المنتظم، أما المجموعة الضابطة فلم تتلقَ أي تدريب. وقد أظهرت نتائج الدراسة أن كلاً من التدريب على مهارات الدراسة وتقليل الحساسية المنتظم قد أظهرا فاعليةً أكثر من الذين لم يتلقوا أي معالجة في خفض قلق الاختبار في القياس البعدي، وقد تبين أن فاعلية تقليل الحساسية المنتظم في تخفيض قلق الاختبار قد استمرت في قياس المتابعة، أما فاعلية برنامج التدريب على مهارات الدراسة في خفض قلق الاختبار لم تستمر. كما بينت النتائج أن برنامج التدريب على مهارات الدراسة كان أكثر فاعلية من الذين لم يتلقوا أي معالجة في تحسين الفاعلية الذاتية الأكاديمية في القياس البعدي واستمرت فاعليته في قياس المتابعة، حيث أظهر تفوقاً على كل من المجموعة التي لم تتلق أي معالجة وتقليل الحساسية المنتظم.
