Anxiety level of face-to-face and blended learning sessions for trainee teacher during pandemic COVID-19: a pilot study for instrument reliability.

Abstract

This study was to examine the reliability of the questionnaire on the level of anxiety of trainee teachers during teaching training courses and implementing face-to-face and blended Teaching and Learning (PdP) sessions during the Covid-19 pandemic. The study sample involved 10 respondents consisting of students of Bachelor of Science with Education (Sports Science). The instrument was modified from the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). This instrument has also been validated by two experts. The collected data will be analyzed using Cronbach's Alpha reliability tests. The results of the study found that the item reliability value for face-to-face teaching type respondents was 0.96 while the item for blended learning type respondents was 0.93. Based on the Cronbach's Alpha value, it is good and shows that each item has a high reliability value. Therefore, this modified questionnaire instrument is suitable and can be used to study the level of anxiety of trainee teachers during teaching training courses and implement face-to-face and blended Teaching and Learning (PdP) sessions during future Covid-19 pandemics in schools.
