Motivation, anxiety and self-efficacy of students in TV instruction
Аbstract: In the first wave (March-June 2020) of school closures induced by the COVID-19 outbreak, most countries used TV instruction (UNICEF, 2020) to increase the availability of education to those students who do not have access to digital devices and tools. There are only a few older studies of the students’ experience of learning in TV instruction, with contradictory findings. This research, conducted as part of a broader study, aims to determine descriptive indicators of learning motivation, subject self-efficacy, and students' anxiety in learning science and humanities subjects during TV classes. A sample of 1908 students from primary and lower secondary schools participated in the research, filling out questionnaires already used on Serbian samples: adapted Academic Motivation Scale (Šarčević, 2015); and Subject self-efficacy and anxiety scales (OECD, 2013). Based on the values of the means and theoretical range of assessment scales (1-5), we can conclude that students are on average very self-efficient (M = 4.03; SD = 0.79) and intrinsically motivated (M = 3.89; SD = 0.95), weakly anxious (M = 1.87; SD = 0.81) and amotivated (M = 1, 75; SD = 0.80), and moderately instrumentally motivated (M = 2.80; SD = 0.77) and relatively high. The obtained data provide a basis for comparison with the data obtained on the same instruments during regular classes in order to determine the effects of the crisis on the examined experiences.
