Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine whether academic achievement in fifth grade elementary school children is affected by anxiety to the extent that teachers should be concerned with it. The subjects in the study are 88 fifth grade children from two elementary schools in District #5, Franklin, Wisconsin. Tests used in the study are the General Anxiety Scale for Children, the Intermediate Battery of the Metropolitan Achievement Test and the California Short-Form Test of Mental Maturity. The problem was stated in terms of a null hypothesis: there is no significant difference between anxiety and achievement in an elementary school population with the same or approximately the same mental ability.
