| Title:Modelling of Students` Personality and Self-concept on their Test-Anxiety towards Measurement and Evaluation course |
| Abstract:This study established the most meaningful causal model for explaining the influence of undergraduate students� personality and self-concept on their test-anxiety towards measurement and evaluation course. We adopted correlation research design in conducting the study. The participants consist of 150 final year undergraduate students in the Faculty of Education drawn using multistage sampling procedure. The instruments titled: Students� Personality Trait Questionnaire (SPTQ); Students� Self-Concept Questionnaire (SCQ), and Students Test-Anxiety Questionnaire (STAQ) were used for data collection. Data were analyzed using SEM-PLS applying the WarpPls software. Results generated a meaningful causal model for explaining the influence of undergraduate students� personality and self-concept on their test anxiety towards measurement and evaluation course. The measurement model showed a high level of validity and reliability. Results further showed that 12 paths had a significant direct influence on the endogenous variables in the model. Most indirect paths showed no significant influence on the endogenous variables. It was recommended that university students form positive personality traits and self-concept to reduce their test-anxiety level. |
