| Abstract: |
This study investigates the efficacy of cooperative quizzes in reducing test anxiety and improving course success rates among community college students. Test anxiety was measured using a mini-SPIN survey provided by the RECAPER project. Twenty students completed pre-semester and post-semester surveys. Statistical analyses revealed no significant difference (Student's t-test, p>0.05) in test anxiety levels or success rates between the two groups. These finding suggest that cooperative quizzes may not offer significant advantages in reducing test anxiety or improving course outcomes compared to traditional quiz formats. Nevertheless, students' responses indicated that cooperative quizzes had a positive impact on their learning. |
