CECS 6800 Presentation on Survey instrument and findings

This paper discusses the creation of a survey tool to assess the beneficial use of stress in educational settings. The survey, comprising questions from existing instruments and author-created ones, was administered to individuals outside the training program and former students. The objectives include understanding student perspectives on stress impact on learning and evaluating the effectiveness of stress-inducing activities in learning software troubleshooting. Factors measured include learning outcomes, enhanced skills, enjoyment, pressure benefits, and increased work productivity. The study concludes that stress in education can enhance learning experiences.
