Physics Teacher Efforts of Islamic High School in Yogyakarta to Minimize Students' Anxiety When Facing the Assessment of Physics Learning Outcomes

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.
