Research Population

It was aimed in this study to reveal and compare strategies of students of three types of high schools to cope with stress through leisure time. The research population consisted of high school students in Konya province, Turkey. The sample consisted of 280 male and 224 female vocational high school, Anatolian high school and sports high school students. In the study, the Demographic Personal Information Form was used to collect personal information. The “Strategies to Cope with Stress through Leisure Time Scale” (SCSLTS) was used to identify the leisure time strategies. This scale was developed by Iwasaki and Mannell (2000). It was translated into Turkish, and its validity and reliability studies were conducted by Çevik, Özcan and Munusturlar (2018). No difference was found in the strategies of the students to cope with stress through leisure time according to the grade level, income, and maternal and paternal educational level factors. Statistical variations were observed based on the gender and sporting factors (p<.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the mood enhancement dimension depending on the school type factor. However, it was found that the mean scores of the vocational high school students in terms of the dimensions of leisure time friendship and temporary coping ability were higher than those of the students of the other schools, and these differences were also statistically significant (p<.05). The vocational high school students had higher mean scores in the leisure time strategies sub-dimension than the students of other schools. Accordingly, it can be said that the leisure time strategy scores may differ according to the school type and that the students receiving vocational education were more optimistic in determining leisure time strategies than the students of Anatolian high school and sports high school.

The objective of this study is to examine the test anxiety levels of the high school students in terms of various variables. The study was conducted in a screening model from descriptive research methods. The data is collected from 734 students, who are in the 11th grade of five different high schools in 2016-2017 education year in İstanbul province. The research data was collected by the "Test Anxiety Inventory" developed by Spielberg and adapted by Öner and "Personal Information Form" developed by the researchers. Initially, data was tested whether the assumptions are met or not during the analysis. Then, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), independent t-test, and Mann-Whitney U test were used to analyze the anxiety levels of the students according to various variables. Results shows that there were statistically significant differences in the test anxieties of the students according to the sex; the female students were more worried in both the affective and delusional sub-dimensions of the inventory than the male students. It was also found that students who are satisfied with their classes or schools have lower levels of anxiety than others. In addition, students who felt self-anxious about the university entrance exam had higher anxiety levels compared to other students, and students, who believed that they would be successful had lower level of anxiety than others. Lastly, according to results, number of siblings, siblings, private tutoring, and having a separate room to study did not affect the test anxiety level of students.Extended English abstract is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file.ÖzetBu çalışmanın amacı, lise öğrencilerinin sınav kaygı düzeylerini etkileyen değişkenleri incelemektir.

<p>There are many studies related to distance learning. Willingness and anxiety are important variables for distance learning. Recent research has shown that anxiety and willingness towards distance learning are moderated by personality. This study sought to investigate whether distance learning willingness and distance learning anxiety are associated with age, gender, occupation, chronotype and personality in a Turkish vocational high school students sample. Two measures of individual differences were implemented: chronotype (morningness/eveningness preference) and BIG-5 dimensions (agreeableness, conscientiousness, extraversion, neuroticism, and openness). Seven hundred and sixty-nine vocational high school students from Turkey filled out a self-administered questionnaire. Evening types, older, and female students had higher distance learning willingness scores than morning types, younger, and male students. No significant difference was found between chronotype groups with respect to distance learning anxiety. Furthermore, extraverted students reported a lower distance learning anxiety. Openness to experience was associated with high distance learning willingness. We conclude that evening types may benefit from distance learning more than other types.</p>
