Abstract

This study aims to determine the anxiety experienced by
Islamic high school students in Yogyakarta and find out the efforts of Islamic
high school physics teachers in Yogyakarta in minimizing the anxiety that
occurs in their students when facing assessment of physics learning outcomes.
This study uses qualitative research methods and descriptive approaches. The
subjects of this study were Islamic high school physics teachers and Islamic
Senior High School students of class X natural science until the XII natural
science class in Yogyakarta. The subject of this study was determined using
purposive sampling method. The results of this study indicate that the anxiety
experienced by Islamic high school students in Yogyakarta when facing the
assessment of physics learning outcomes in the form of a lack of mastery of the
concept of learning material. Therefore, the efforts made by Islamic high
school physics teachers in Yogyakarta to minimize the anxiety experienced by
their students when facing assessment of physics learning outcomes is by
conveying the concept of physics material that is clear and easy to understand,
provides regular practice questions, provides motivation, and applying learning
using existing technology. Therefore, it is expected that teachers can minimize
students 'anxiety when facing exams so that students' talents in the academic
field are good.
