The Relationship between Learning Style, Test Anxiety and Academic Achievement
Yazici, Kubilay
Universal Journal of Educational Research, v5 n1 p61-71 2017
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between social studies pre-service teachers' (SSPTs) learning style, test anxiety and academic achievement. A total of 315 SSPTs participated in the study. Data were collected using Turkish versions of Grasha-Reichmann learning style scale (GRLSS) and test anxiety scale (TAS) by Spielberger. According to the findings, SSPTs' academic achievements had negative and low-level relationship with the TAS' worry sub-dimension while they had no significant relationship with the emotionality sub-dimension. No statistically significant relationship was observed between test anxiety and independent, participant and avoidant learning styles, which are among GRLSS sub-dimensions. The findings revealed that competitive and cooperative learning styles had positive, low-level and significant relationship with the TAS' emotionality sub-dimension, and the same relationship was observed between the competitive learning style and the worry sub-dimension. The relationship of gender and class level with learning styles and test anxiety was also investigated in this study.
