ईरानी विश्वविद्यालयों में विदेशी भाषा के रूप में अंग्रेज़ी सीखने वाले विद्यार्थियों में पहचान-अभिमुखताएँ और परीक्षा-चिंता की व्यवहारगत अभिव्यक्तियाँ: लिंग और आयु समूहों के आधार पर एक सहसंबंधात्मक अध्ययन

सारांश

इस सहसंबंधात्मक अध्ययन में ईरानी विश्वविद्यालयों में विदेशी भाषा के रूप में अंग्रेज़ी (EFL) सीखने वाले विद्यार्थियों की पहचान-अभिमुखताओं और परीक्षा-चिंता की व्यवहारगत अभिव्यक्तियों के बीच संबंध की जाँच की गई। अध्ययन ने आकलन किया कि सांख्यिकीय मॉडल में पहचान-अभिमुखताएँ परीक्षा-चिंता से जुड़े व्यवहार का किस हद तक पूर्वानुमान करती हैं और यह संबंध लिंग तथा आयु समूहों के अनुसार कैसे बदलता है। कुल 200 विद्यार्थियों ने पहचान के पहलुओं से संबंधित प्रश्नावली (AIQ-IV) और परीक्षा-चिंता व्यवहार मापनी (STABS) पूरी कीं। आँकड़ों का विश्लेषण SmartPLS 3 में दो-चरणीय उच्च-क्रम मॉडलिंग और बहु-समूह विश्लेषण से किया गया। आंतरिक संगति का आकलन क्रोनबाख के अल्फ़ा और समग्र विश्वसनीयता से किया गया। अभिसारी और विभेदी वैधता का आकलन क्रमशः औसत निष्कर्षित प्रसरण (AVE) और फ़ॉर्नेल–लार्कर मानदंड से किया गया।

पहचान-अभिमुखताओं और परीक्षा-चिंता से जुड़े व्यवहार के बीच समग्र सहसंबंध मध्यम और ऋणात्मक था तथा सांख्यिकीय रूप से सार्थक नहीं था। हालाँकि, पूर्वानुमान मॉडल में इन दोनों के बीच सांख्यिकीय रूप से सार्थक संबंध पाया गया। बहु-समूह विश्लेषण में यह संबंध पुरुष और महिला प्रतिभागियों के बीच तथा 18–22 वर्ष के विद्यार्थियों और 22 वर्ष से अधिक आयु के विद्यार्थियों के बीच अलग-अलग पाया गया। निष्कर्ष विश्वविद्यालयों में विदेशी भाषा के रूप में अंग्रेज़ी सीखने वाले विद्यार्थियों की परीक्षा-चिंता की व्यवहारगत अभिव्यक्तियों को समझने में पहचान-अभिमुखताओं की प्रासंगिकता दर्शाते हैं।

मुख्य शब्द: पहचान-अभिमुखताएँ, परीक्षा-चिंता से जुड़े व्यवहार, विदेशी भाषा के रूप में अंग्रेज़ी, विश्वविद्यालय के विद्यार्थी, लिंग, आयु, ईरान।
