Özet

Test anxiety is a very common phenomena observed in K-12 level of education all over the world. This can take a more complex and stressful form in countries using national exam in university entrance. Turkey is one of those countries. Since higher education is free for all of citizens, students have found themselves confronting a very competitive testing-culture. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness of the solution-focused brief counseling approach on test anxiety of senior year high school students. An experimental study was conducted in an Anatolian high school in Bolu, Turkey in the academic year 2015-2016. Sixteen students participated in the study, eight of them were in the experimental group, other eight were in the control group. The ages of the students varied between 16 and 18 years; the average age of the experimental group was 17, while it was 16.87 in the control group. Six of the participants were male, whereas ten were female. Because the data set was not normally distributed and the number of participants was less than 30, nonparametric tests were preferred for data analysis. Mann Whitney-U and Wilcoxon Signed Rank tests, which are nonparametric techniques, were utilized in data processing. The results revealed that the four-session individual psychological counseling based on solution- focused brief approach was effective in mitigating students’ test anxiety. These findings were found to be consistent with the related literature.
La ansiedad ante la evaluación es un fenómeno frecuente que se observa en los grados educativos K-12. Esto puede tornarse más complejo y estresante en países que utilizan los exámenes nacionales para el ingreso a la universidad. Turquía es uno de esos países. Debido a que la educación secundaria es gratuita para todos los ciudadanos, los estudiantes se enfrentan a una cultura de evaluación muy competitiva. Consecuentemente, el propósito de este estudio consistió en evaluar la efectividad de una intervención conforme al Modelo de Consejería Breve Enfocada en la Solución, realizada con estudiantes Senior de secundaria, en la reducción de la ansiedad ante la evaluación. El estudio se realizó en un colegio de bachillerato Anatolí en Bolu/Turquía en el año académico 2015-2016. Participaron dieciséis estudiantes, 8 en el grupo experimental y 8 en el grupo control. La edad de los participantes variaba entre 16 y 18 años; la edad promedio en el grupo experimental fue 17, y 16.87 en el grupo control. Seis de los participantes eran hombres y 10 eran mujeres. Debido a que los datos no se distribuyeron normalmente, y el número de participantes era menor a 30, en el análisis se utilizaron tests no paramétricos: Mann Whitney, y prueba de rangos con signo de Wilcoxon. Los resultados sugieren que cuatro sesiones de intervención conforme al modelo de Consejería Breve Enfocada en la Solución son efectivas para mitigar la ansiedad ante la evaluación. Estos hallazgos son consistentes con la literatura disponible.
