Anxious Students Gain on Tests by Writing About Fears
a, words
1, cognitive
context: I talk about it as your cognitive horsepower that you could otherwise be
using to focus on the exam.
definition: related to the process of knowing, understanding, and learning something
2, reappraise
context: What we think happens is when students put it down on paper, they think about the worst that could happen and they reappraise the situation.
definition: to examine something again in order to consider whether you should change it or your opinion of it
3, all of a sudden
context: What we showed is that for students who are highly test-anxious, who'd done our writing intervention, all of a sudden there was no relationship between test anxiety and performance.
definition: suddenly
c,
I was interested this news and this way.
But I can`t understand this way a little.
What kind of thing should we write concretely before an exam?

Thanks. You've done good work!
返信削除I think the students just write about what they are worried about and then feel better. Writing doesn't change anything but I think it helps the students feel better.
