Resilient Learners: Dealing with Anxiety
This lesson focuses specifically on how anxiety interferes with learning and exam performance, and reinforces two key tools for managing it: calming and focusing techniques (harnessing emotions) and WoBbLe (taming catastrophising Gremlin Beliefs). Through an ABC worked example where the Consequence is given first, students identify what Activating Events and Beliefs might be driving exam-related anxiety, then practise WoBbLe on three real exam-pressure scenarios.
Learning Outcomes
Outcome 1:
Identify when anxiety is getting in the way of my learning or my ability to do my best in tests and exams
Outcome 2:
Reinforce my knowledge of the WoBbLe skill
