Investigation of Speech Anxiety as a Predictive Factor of Teacher Candidates' Occupational Anxiety, 2022
Occupational anxiety has an important place in the careers of teacher candidates. However, there ... more Occupational anxiety has an important place in the careers of teacher candidates. However, there is a lack of studies that wi ll reveal the variables that will predict the studied variable. Studies to reveal the predictive variables can contribute to the improvement of the education process of teacher candidates on the one hand. Additionally, these variables have the potential to create a data pool for steps that will make teaching processes more efficient. In order to contribute to the elimination of the current deficiency, the explanatory correlational research method was chosen and the explanatory power of speaking anxiety as a possible variable that could affect professional anxiety was analyzed through simple linear regression analysis. The research hypothesis was formed in line with the positivist paradigm and acted on the principle of simple reality. The results indicate that speaking anxiety can explain professional anxiety at a significant level. Therefore, it will be beneficial to examine the sub-dimensions of speaking anxiety more deeply in future research and to study new quantitative models that can explain the sources of occupational anxiety. Carrying out activities to reduce speech anxiety is also among the steps that can be beneficial in reducing professional anxiety. Conducting research in which different language skills are used will also contribute to revealing a more complex pattern. In this respect, although the research was conducted with a hypothesis formed with a positivist world view, it opens the door to new problem sentences to be constructed with a post-positivist paradigm in which reality is complex. In future research, it will be beneficial to carry out studies to clarify other parts of occupational anxiety's background.
