- Description
- This study examined the efficacy of music-based cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) in the reduction of test anxiety among primary school pupils in basic science. Randomized pre-test, post-test, control group experimental design was adopted using a sample of 58 primary five (5) pupils. Test anxiety questionnaire was used for data collection. The instrument was face validated by test development experts. The internal consistency reliability of the items of the instrument was established to be 0.86 using the Cronbach’s alpha method. Data were analyzed using mean and independent samples t-test. Findings revealed that music-based CBT is significantly efficacious in reducing test anxiety among the sampled pupils in basic science. This implies that test anxiety among primary school pupils can be reduced or better managed using the musicbased CBT. It was thus, recommended that primary school teachers should be enlightened on how to make use of music-based CBT for basic science instructions in schools.
