Pascoe, Michaela C. “The Impact of Stress on Students in Secondary School and Higher Education.” The Impact of Stress on Students in Secondary School and Higher Education.
Michaela Pascoe who is a Senior Research Fellow in the Institute of Health and Sport at Victoria University. Her research expertise is in mental health, mindfulness, physical activity, stress, and science communication. She explains the factors that lead to academic stress; however, she also discusses how a student can lead to academic performance. She creates an interesting review of studies that were published between 2008 and 2018. The study showed that earlier stimulus, time management skills are important to know about to have good academic performance. This information is very useful because many universities and educators can use this information to develop techniques that will hopefully improve a students’ academic performance. Finally, this information can also be used to find out if students are at a risk of academic failure and poor mental/physical health.
- “Academic-related stress can reduce academic achievement, decrease motivation, and increase the risk of school dropout”
- “School dropout is associated with a lifelong reduction in earning capacity and secure employment”.
