Description
Guangdong Province, China, provides data from a 2024-2025 mixed-methods study of 1,248 questionnaires and 260 open-ended responses from novice Chinese language teachers. The research examines anxiety dimensions, triggers, and progression, including evaluation anxiety prevalence and changes over teaching experience.
Use Cases
Analyze the prevalence of evaluation and assessment anxiety (89.9%) and teaching content anxiety (82.0%) across the 1,248 survey respondents.
Model the nonlinear relationship between teaching experience and anxiety scores, using the peak STAI-State score of 5.1 at four months.
Compare anxiety risk factors for teachers in rural schools, those serving as homeroom advisors, and those with high weekly teaching loads.
Assess the efficacy of the tested support model by tracking the reduction in average anxiety score from 5.1 to 2.4 and the 28% decrease in turnover intention.
Strengths
Includes data from 1,248 questionnaires and 260 open-ended responses.
Provides specific metrics on anxiety prevalence, such as 89.9% for evaluation and assessment anxiety.
Reports detailed temporal findings, including anxiety peaking at four months (STAI-State=5.1) and a secondary rise after 18 months.
Documents the results of an intervention experiment showing a quantifiable reduction in anxiety scores and turnover intention.
