Escalas de ansiedade em situações de prova em estudantes: uma revisão de escopo

Abstract

High levels of anxiety can be present at various moments in life, including in educational settings during assessments or exam periods, thus qualifying it as test anxiety. Based on this, this study aimed to conduct a scoping review of instruments available in the literature for assessing test anxiety. A search was conducted in the SciELO, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, PsycNET, and Embase databases. As a result, seven articles were included, covering nine instruments. Most of the articles referred to cross-cultural adaptations for different contexts and populations, with evidence of satisfactory validity and reliability. In summary, this study reveals the need to develop studies and adaptations of tools, particularly for the Brazilian context.
