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. Çalışma, betimsel araştırma yöntemlerinden tarama modelinde yürütülmüştür. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu, İstanbul ilinde 2016-2017 eğitim-öğretim yılında 5 lisenin 11. sınıfına devam eden toplam 734 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma verileri Spielberg tarafından geliştirilen ve uyarlama çalışması Öner tarafından yapılan “Sınav Kaygısı Envanteri” ve araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen “Kişisel Bilgi Formu” ile toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizi aşamasında öncelikle varsayımların karşılanıp karşılanmadığı test edilmiştir. Ardından öğrencilerin sınav kaygı düzeylerinin çeşitli değişkenlere göre anlamlı bir farklılık gösterip göstermediği tek yönlü varyans analizi (ANOVA), bağımsız gruplar t-testi ve Mann-Whitney U testi ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda öğrencilerin sınav kaygılarında cinsiyete göre anlamlı farklılıklar bulunmuş, kız öğrencilerin erkek öğrencilere göre envanterin hem duyuşsal hem de kuruntu alt boyutunda daha kaygılı oldukları tespit edilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre sınıflarından veya okullarından memnun olan öğrencilerin kaygı düzeyleri diğerlerine göre daha düşük çıkmıştır. Bunun yanında geçmişte sınav kaygısı hissettiğini belirtenlerle, üniversite giriş sınavına ilişkin kendini kaygılı hissedenlerin sınav kaygı düzeyleri diğer öğrencilerden daha yüksek çıkarken, başarılı olacakları konusunda kendine inanan öğrencilerin kaygı puanlarının ise daha düşük olduğu bulunmuştur. Ayrıca kardeş sayısı, kardeş sırası, özel ders alma durumu ve ders çalışmak için ayrı odaya sahip olma durumunun sınav kaygısına etkisinin olmadığı tespit edilmiştir.

This article explores the process, reasons, and determinants of private tutoring as perceived by the high school students in Şanlıurfa, Turkey. This is a survey study and the quantitative data for the study was collected with a questionnaire from 1329 high school students during the spring semester in 2019. According to the findings, almost half of the participants reported having received private tutoring at private teaching institutions in the last year. The most popular subjects for private tutoring were math, science, and Turkish. Exam-focused learning, poor classroom teaching were reported as the most important reasons behind receiving private tutoring. The individuals who referred most of the participants to private tutoring were the parents. Besides, it was determined that as age, grade, father and mother’s education level, level of income, and parents’ belief in the need for education increases, the likelihood of receiving private tutoring increases; as satisfaction level with the school decreases, students are more likely to participate in private tutoring. Also, it was found out that female students spent on private tutoring more than male students. It is concluded that the demand for private tutoring in Turkey is high, and this may be due to the university entrance system based on high-stakes testing.

Identity Exploration

This study examined how social opportunity structure influences identity exploration and commitment of Albanian high school students. A total of 258 students completed a questionnaire that gauged their identity exploration and commitment in three domains: education, occupation, and family. ANOVA results indicated that, overall, students scored highest in exploration in the domain of education and in commitment in the domain of family. Students' exploration and commitment were linked to gender. Albanian female students scored higher than male students in exploration and commitment regarding education and family. Perceived work opportunities in Albania or abroad also significantly moderated participants' exploration in the domain of education and were associated with commitment in education and occupation. As one of the first studies to explore Albanian youth's identity development in relation to social opportunity structure, findings are discussed in light of furthering the field of Albanian adolescent and youth development.
