A ansiedade é uma sensação associada à preocupação, à angústia ou ao medo que acarreta consequências negativas para aprendizagem. O presente artigo tem por objetivo caracterizar a ansiedade de estudantes do Ensino Médio e examinar se existem diferenças em relação ao gênero e ao ano escolar dos alunos. Participaram da pesquisa 957 estudantes do Ensino Médio de escolas públicas e particulares de duas cidades brasileiras. Os dados foram coletados pela escala de ansiedade do Inventário de Estratégias de Estudo e Aprendizagem - Learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI). Diferenças significativas nos escores da escala de ansiedade em relação ao gênero e à escolaridade foram encontradas. As alunas reportaram significativamente mais ansiedade do que os alunos. Os estudantes do terceiro ano apresentaram menores índices de ansiedade do que os demais. Espera-se contribuir para o avanço das pesquisas sobre o tema e nortear ações que reduzam a ansiedade no contexto educativo.

The Relationship

Research suggests a negative relationship between frequent use of communication technologies, such as text messaging and social network sites, and academic performance, but the nature of the relationship needs to be explored in greater detail. This study explored the relationship between use of communication technologies and self-reported study skills. A total of 74 first-year university students completed the online Learning and Study Strategies Inventory and reported on how frequently they used text messaging, instant messaging, and online social networks such as Facebook. Correlation analysis indicated a negative relationship between frequency of communications technology use and the Learning and Study Strategies Inventory measure of Concentration. While the study does not prove a causal relationship, it provides more detail on the specific study skills challenges students may be facing when they interrupt their studying with frequent online social communication. This increased understanding can help educators tailor study skills interventions and support more directly to students’ needs.

Learning And Study Strategies

Universities and colleges are very interested in understanding the factors that influence their students academic performance. This paper describes a study that was conducted at a mid-sized public university in the mid-south, USA, to examine this issue. In this study, the 10-scale, Learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI) (Weinstein et al., 1987) assessment device was administered to 107 students to measure receptivity to several skills and strategies that purportedly enhance a students ability to learn and successfully perform in an academic setting. The results of this study showed that the LASSI scales dealing with attitude, concentration, information processing skill, motivation, self-testing and review techniques, use of study support techniques, time management, and effective test-taking strategies all correlated positively (with statistical significance) to student GPA. There were also statistically significant differences between males and females in their mean scores for several of the above mentioned LASSI scales. Every LASSI subscale, where females significantly outscored males, positively correlated with superior academic performance (i.e., GPA). However, after controlling for variance explained by the LASSI scores, there were no statistically significant correlations between gender and academic performance. The primary conclusion from this study is that contrary to prior research that suggests that females predominantly outperform males in academics, such differences can be better explained by mediating variables such as learning and study strategies. This debunking of the female stereotype of superior academic performance merely because of gender has pedagogical implications.
