What causes the academic stress suffered by students at universities and colleges of technology

This research used stratified random sampling to identify students from ten universities and colleges of technology to participate in in-depth interviews. The researchers identified the causes of students’ academic stress. These conformed to the reliability and validity levels required in qualitative research. Based on the coding and punctuation of the above peer encoders and after categorising and generalising these data, experts and learners were requested to assist in the discussion and the data coding was converted into the elements of this research. Subsequently, the researchers arranged for five experts to examine the validity of the methods used. Based on the various causes identified, the list was revised and after modification, 37 items were selected. Teachers often emphasise the acquisition of knowledge, so they often neglect the emotional feelings of students during the teaching process, which can cause emotional stress and learning problems for students. In addition, students may feel unfamiliar situations like nervousness, worry, frustration, abasement, depression, etc. The instability of these emotions easily initiates unusual behaviour, which then affects the learning achievements and adjustment ability of students if appropriate timely counselling is not given by the schools, teachers and parents, or if they cannot obtain appropriate concern from their peers or siblings [6]. This research used relevant literature as the basis of identifying the causes of stress from different angles, to assist teachers in understanding the related problems of stress faced by students in modern-day universities and colleges of technology, thereby proceeding to provide assistance and preventive measures. Consequently, the research is of great value and importance.
