Anxiety in final year students: Exam performance and stress levels.

This report investigates the correlation between anxiety, stress, and academic performance in final-year students. The study uses a quantitative methodology with a sample of at least 200 participants from Coventry University, employing questionnaires to assess anxiety levels, stress, and their impact on exam results. The research aims to identify links between these factors and propose a learner-centered approach to address the emotional and academic needs of students. The project builds on existing literature examining the emotional aspects of learning and teaching. The report suggests that educators should consider student concerns prior to final exams, with the goal of improving student outcomes. The study recommends further research in this area to enhance understanding of student experiences during their final year.

Project summary: The project draws on literature from emotional aspects of learning
and teaching. By using participative inquiry the project involved working with
students to understand their concerns and anxieties about approaching exams,
putting requested sessions in place and reflecting on reaction from the students and
the researches as practitioners. It was concluded that recognition of the need for a
learner-centred approach that addresses emotional as well as academic issues in
the learning and teaching of modules has a beneficial effect. The exploratory work in
this paper suggests a need continually to attend to the ‘obvious’ by addressing the
everyday ordinary interface with students. The recommendation is that issues in

teaching undergraduates be considered prior to their final exams. The project also
suggests a need for further investigate work to be carried out in connection with final-
year students.
