ABSTRACT
This study investigated the effects of cognitive restructuring intervention programme on achievement orientation, academic self efficacy and test anxiety of low-achieving students. Six research questions and six hypotheses guided the study. The design of the study was a quasi-experimental, non-equivalent control group, pretest posttest, involving one treatment group and control group. The sample for this study consisted of 135 low-achieving senior secondary class two students purposively drawn from four public senior secondary schools, two from each education zone of Yenagoa and Okolobiri in Yenagoa Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, Nigeria. These schools were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Three instruments namely Achievement Orientation Questionnaire, Academic Self-Efficacy Scale and Test Anxiety Inventory and Cognitive Restructuring Intervention Package were developed, validated and used for the study. The treatment groups were exposed to cognitive restructuring intervention package while the control group received placebo programme on examination malpractice and prevention. The data obtained were analysed using mean and standard deviation for research objectives and ANCOVA for the hypotheses. All the null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 probability levels. Results showed that cognitive restructuring significantly enhanced achievement orientation and academic self efficacy of low-achieving students. Cognitive restructuring also reduced test anxiety of low-achieving students. There were no significant interaction effects between cognitive restructuring and gender on achievement orientation, academic self-efficacy and test anxiety of low-achieving students. Based on the findings it was recommended that workshops and seminars should be organized in schools to train teachers on how to use cognitive restructuring techniques in the classroom to improve the performance of low-achieving students.
