Zeidner (2007 cited in Jackson, 2013) – high levels of stress and anxiety can have a debilitating effect on attainment and can lead to disengagement
"Understanding how fear works, and how we can better relate to it could make an enormous difference to health and wellbeing in our society, not to mention enlarging individuals potential for living, learning and growing." (Mental Health Foundation, 2009:13)
Imagine how we would go about designing an educational program if our purpose were to make students hate to learn. We would not involve them [students] in establishing the purpose of their class. We would not require them to perform some impossible tasks – for example, to be perfect in everything they do. Further, when we discovered that the students were failing to master the impossible tasks, we would ridicule them and report their mistakes, failures and shortcomings to their friends and relatives.
(Krumboltz cited in Covington, 1998: 104 in Jackson, 2013: 190)
