Motivating Students through Evaluation Participation (MSTEP) a Proposed Technique for Students Morale

The introduction of ‘Motivating Students through Evaluation Participation’ (MSTEP) a method for improving the morale and motivation of the students in evaluation can help students to decrease their anxiety related to examination. Two different groups of Msc psychology students studying in the department of applied psychology were tested to check the applicability of MSTEP in evaluation announcements. In the experiment two groups were studied number one 37 students of morning session Msc and number two the 37 students of evening session both groups appeared in the examinations of ‘History and Systems in Psychology’ on the same and on the same day their results were announced. During the announcement of their results as control and experimental groups MSTEP was only administered to 37 students of morning session whereas the 37 students of evening session treated as control group. The results reflect the significant difference between the behaviors of two groups after the announcement of results.
