  • Anxiety in primary schools [Elektronski vir] : the predictive power of selected school and home environment variables
    Kozina, Ana, 1980-
    In the paper we will analyze a predictive power of home (e.g. SES, parental activities with children) and school environment-related factors (e.g. school climate, achievement) for pupils' anxiety. ... The multiple regression analyses will be performed for 4th and 8th grade pupils on TIMSS 2007 (N=8394) and TIMSS 2011 data base (N=9415) for Slovenia. On the national level anxiety scale (Kozina, 2012) was administered in both TIMSS cycles. The predictive power of models (including only home and only school variables) will be compared (based on the % of explained variance) and on the basis of included variables the relative predictive power of home environment variables in comparison to school environment variables will therewith be established. According to the research literature reviewed, higher levels of anxiety is expected for pupils with low SES (Guerrero, Hishinuma, Andrade, Nishimura & Cunanan, 2006), less support from their parents (Ahmed, Minnaert, van der Werf & Kuyper, 2010), lower achievements (Normandeau & Guay, 1998), negative school climate (Wienke-Totura, MacKinnon-Lewis, Gesten, Gadd, Divine, Dunham & Kamboukos, 2009) and negative attitudes towards school and school subjects (Kos, 1990). In case results shows that school related factors are significant predictors of pupils' anxiety we will additionally perform a hierarchical linear model of data from 2007 and 2011 to evaluate if there are any significant differences in anxiety between schools. Inclusion of two data cycles collected in two time periods will offer observation of changes in anxiety predictors in time. Practical implications of the results will be discussed.
