Exam anxiety and exam phobia - never an issue at IKP!

We are often confronted with the fact that many young people describe IKP as a 'scary subject' and experience it as a cause of considerable psychological distress. On the one hand it is important to ensure that they feel comfortable in class but on the other hand it is also essential to take care of one's own health in order to develop resilience. This enables them to deal successfully with various situations that arise in class and in the best case scenario has a positive impact on the class for the rest of their lives. In practice however it is unfortunately clear that schools still often place little value on the well-being of teachers and young people. This results in a discrepancy with the guidelines and recommendations from educational teaching which are known to be based on a good classroom atmosphere. The issue of exam anxiety and above all the targeted avoidance or overcoming of this anxiety is not only important at school but also plays a major role throughout life. This is because tests and exams also take place outside of school such as driving tests further training courses or job interviews.
