The question I have chosen for my inquiry project this semester is “how does stress affect student learning and performance?” This question interests me because as a student in today’s world, we are taught a lot about our emotions, how they affect us, and how we can manage them. I want to get more specific with it. School is a huge factor in what determines how the rest of your life will go, and stress is something that we cannot always control. I would like to find out what causes students stress, how it affects our performance academically, and what we can do to reduce the negative effects.
With this project, I hope to educate myself and others around me about my findings, and find ways we can better support students who are in this situation.
Thank you for reading!
