Even though the grown-ups tell the children not to worry, they're acting kind of strange. The gym teacher is teaching stress-reducing yoga instead of sports in gym class. Parents are giving pop quizzes on bedtime stories at night. The cafeteria is serving "brain food" for lunch.

Book Synopsis Test Anxiety in Elementary Students by : Rachel W. Chamley
Download or read book Test Anxiety in Elementary Students written by Rachel W. Chamley and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Test anxiety is defined as negative emotional and physiological responses triggered by performance and examination situations. Symptoms of test anxiety can be classified into two groups: physiological and psychological. The prevalence of test anxiety among elementary school children is increasing, producing a negative correlation to academic achievement and debilitating emotional and social consequences. Prevalence rates of anxiety differ according to gender, ability level, and race. All educational stakeholders share a responsibility for managing negative symptoms of test anxiety and for modeling positive anxiety coping strategies; environmental factors can also be controlled to lessen feelings of test anxiety. Teachers can assist students in identifying feelings of test anxiety through the use of a Test Anxiety Identification Instrument. Teachers can also instruct students how to lesson feelings of test anxiety through the use of relaxation, deep breathing, and positive self-talk strategies. This thesis, which includes a literature review with application emphasis, provides a sample instructional unit designed to help students cope with the issue of test anxiety."--leaf 3.

Download or read book Using Collaborative Testing to Reduce Test Anxiety in Elementary and Middle School Students written by Brittany E. Balkam and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout this action research project report, the teacher-researchers explored the problem of test anxiety among students. The purpose of this project was to alleviate test anxiety among students with various interventions in grades five through seven in the subject areas of social studies, science, and language arts. There were 66 student participants in this study which occurred between August 20, 2012 and December 21, 2012. Students exhibited behaviors to illustrate test anxiety such as sweating, tapping, and poor achievement. The three tools used to document further evidence of the problem of include a student survey, parent survey, and teacher survey. The student survey affirmed that students felt negatively about taking tests in school and were uncomfortable taking tests in certain subject areas. The parents of the above-mentioned students also noted they had witnessed their children experiencing such feelings when faced with a test in school. Additionally, the teachers surveyed expressed noticing behaviors of students that may be related to test anxiety such as tapping, refusal to work, and nervousness. The teacher-researchers implemented various interventions in order to address the problem area. These interventions included teaching test-taking strategies, collaborative testing, and differentiated tests. Students were taught how to best take a test by using strategies that included, but were not limited to highlighting important words in the question, eliminating wrong answers, and planning extended responses. Pretests were given at the start of each unit to show the teacher-researchers how much or little students knew about the topic. Through collaborative testing, students first took a test individually. The following day, students were put into groups based on their pre-determined knowledge of the subject or ability to illustrate a skill. In groups, students were able to revisit their test and work together in order to change or affirm their answers. These tests were also used to group students during collaborative testing as well as design differentiated tests. The teacher-researchers created three levels of tests per unit in order to best assess the students at their levels, but still demanded students to demonstrate what they had learned. By the end of the study, the teacher-researchers found that the students experienced a positive change in the way they viewed taking tests in school. More students reported feeling good or prepared for tests after being a part of the interventions. This information was especially pleasing because the students also stated that the way they prepared for tests did not change; thus confirming that the interventions implemented did help reduce the students' test anxiety. The following are appended: (1) Student Survey; (2) Parent Survey; (3) Teacher Survey; (4) Hands-On Experiments; (5) Revolutionary War Pre-Test; (6) Sequencing Activities; (7) Group Roles; (8) Story Elements Pre-Test; (9) Sequencing Post Tests; (10) Revolutionary War Test; (11) Story Elements Graphic Organizers; and (12) Story Elements Post Test.

Download or read book Test Anxiety written by Marty Sapp and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2013-11-20 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed to give students and researchers the confidence to understand, assess, treat, and research test anxiety. Marty Sapp presents the various cognitive and behavioral theories of test anxiety along with instruments for measuring test anxiety. He integrates statistical methodology, measurement, and research designs with actual research situations that occur within the test anxiety field. In addition, the SPSS codes for conducting sample reliability and validity are provided along with the codes for finding confidence intervals around population reliability measures. Like the previous edition, the logic of structural equations modeling is presented with the EQS structural equations program. Many researchers view test anxiety as existing of factors such as Sarasons’s four-factor model or Spielberger’s two-factor model. Both models can be easily analyzed by EQS. In terms of treatment, affective, cognitive, behavioral, hypnosis, systematic desensitization, Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and the Eye-Movement Technique (EMT) are presented. This book integrates applied research designs and statistical and measurement methodology that frequently occur in the test anxiety literature, but the methodological treatment of research is nonmathematical. Finally, extensive discussions of treatments for test anxiety are provided.

Book Synopsis The Tapping Solution by : Nick Ortner
Download or read book The Tapping Solution written by Nick Ortner and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2013-04-02 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the New York Times best-selling book The Tapping Solution, Nick Ortner, founder of the Tapping World Summit and best-selling filmmaker of The Tapping Solution, is at the forefront of a new healing movement. In this book, he gives readers everything they need to successfully start using the powerful practice of tapping—or Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT).Tapping is one of the fastest and easiest ways to address both the emotional and physical problems that tend to hamper our lives. Using the energy meridians of the body, practitioners tap on specific points while focusing on particular negative emotions or physical sensations. The tapping helps calm the nervous system to restore the balance of energy in the body, and in turn rewire the brain to respond in healthy ways. This kind of conditioning can help rid practitioners of everything from chronic pain to phobias to addictions. Because of tapping’s proven success in healing such a variety of problems, Ortner recommends to try it on any challenging issue. In The Tapping Solution, Ortner describes not only the history and science of tapping but also the practical applications. In a friendly voice, he lays out easy-to-use practices, diagrams, and worksheets that will teach readers, step-by-step, how to tap on a variety of issues. With chapters covering everything from the alleviation of pain to the encouragement of weight loss to fostering better relationships, Ortner opens readers’ eyes to just how powerful this practice can be. Throughout the book, readers will see real-life stories of healing ranging from easing the pain of fibromyalgia to overcoming a fear of flying.The simple strategies Ortner outlines will help readers release their fears and clear the limiting beliefs that hold them back from creating the life they want.
Book Synopsis Handbook of Developmental Psychopathology by : Michael Lewis
Download or read book Handbook of Developmental Psychopathology written by Michael Lewis and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-04-09 with total page 836 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When developmental psychologists set forth the theory that the roots of adult psychopathology could be traced to childhood experience and behavior, the idea quickly took hold. Subsequently, as significant research in this area advanced during the past decade, more sophisticated theory, more accurate research methodologies, and improved replication of empirical findings have been the result. The Third Edition of the Handbook of Developmental Psychopathology incorporates these research advances throughout its comprehensive, up-to-date examination of this diverse and maturing field. Integrative state-of-the-art models document the complex interplay of risk and protective factors and other variables contributing to normal and pathological development. New and updated chapters describe current refinements in assessment methods and offer the latest research findings from neuroscience. In addition, the Third Edition provides readers with a detailed review across the spectrum of salient topics, from the effects of early deprivation to the impact of puberty. As the field continues to shift from traditional symptom-based concepts of pathology to a contemporary, dynamic paradigm, the Third Edition addresses such key topics as: Early Childhood disorders, including failure to thrive and attachment disorders. Aggression, ADHD, and other disruptive conditions. Developmental models of depression, anxiety, self-injury/suicide, and OCD. The autism spectrum and other chronic developmental disorders. Child maltreatment and trauma disorders. The Third Edition of the Handbook of Developmental Psychopathology is a discipline-defining, forward-looking resource for researchers, clinicians, scientist-practitioners, and graduate students in such fields as developmental psychology, psychiatry, social work, child and school psychology, educational psychology, and pediatrics.“p>
