The mind state of the EFL students

Third year EFL students of the English Department at Larbi Ben M’hidi

University come from diverse social backgrounds and are currently navigating

unique life trajectories, each one of them is different and unique and has a life

story of their own. These stories are exceptional and each one of them got a

specific impact on their mental health.

And in order to gain a comprehensive understanding of the state of mental

health among this cohort, we kindly request you to complete the following

questionnaire. This will enable us to identify potential areas of concern and

facilitate the implementation of targeted interventions to support the mental

health and well-being of our students.

Valide Femal 55 87.3 87.3 87.3

Male 8 12.7 12.7 100.0

Total 63 100.0 100.0

The analysis focuses on how the participants' genders are distributed based on the data

presented. The information shows that out of the 63 individuals, 55 (87.3%) of them

identified as female and 8 (12.7%) as male.

We can determine the average and standard deviation in order to better evaluate the data.

Calculating the average and standard deviation in this situation is not suitable, though,

because the data represent categorical variables (gender). Statistical metrics like these are

frequently applied to numerical data.

In this instance, the frequency and percentage columns give a clear picture of the participants'

gender distribution. While the percentage denotes the proportion of participants inside each

category, the frequency denotes the number of participants in each category.


The findings show that there is a clear gender gap among the study participants, with females

making up the majority of them. This finding might point to a future pattern where males are

more likely to pursue work options than scholarly endeavours, particularly during their

undergraduate years. This finding supports the theory that decisions people make at this time

of their lives may be influenced by societal circumstances and job aspirations.

Total 63 100.0 100.0

The data supplied shows the age demographics of the study subjects in various age brackets.

The bulk of participants (85.7%) were between the ages of 20 and 25, while just 11.1% were

between the ages of 25 and 30. 3.2% of participants, a very small proportion, were in the 30–

50 age bracket. The participants' age distribution had a mean of 21.33 and a standard

deviation of 0.98.

This information demonstrates that a sizeable percentage of the participants were young, in

line with the age range of typical university students. The concentration of participants

between the ages of 20 and 25 shows that this cohort constitutes the bulk of the sample and
may offer insightful information about the experiences and viewpoints of young adults in

regard to the study's goals. When evaluating the study results, it is crucial to take the age

distribution of the participants into account since it may affect how generalizable and

applicable the findings are to different age groups.

According to the data, a sizable majority of survey students (85.7%) were between the ages

of 20 and 25, which is the normal age for people seeking higher education. This result

indicates that the majority of participants fall within the age bracket that is consistent with the

typical academic trajectory. On the other side, fewer participants (11.1%) were into the 25–30

age bracket. People who take a vacation from their education, either to get work experience

or deal with personal issues, may be a part of this group. It's also possible that some

participants in this age group ran into difficulties while pursuing their education, which

caused them to put off finishing their coursework. In addition, just 3.2% of participants were

in the 30–50 age range.


This subgroup may include people who chose to continue their education later in life for a

variety of reasons, including personal circumstances, financial limitations, or a desire to

enhance their professional chances. Age can impact viewpoints, experiences, and the

relevance of the study's findings to other age groups, hence it is crucial to take these age-

related trends into account when evaluating the data and interpreting the results.

When asked if they believe their current age to be their real age, 39.7% of the participants

responded "Yes" based on the information given. As opposed to this, 60.3% of the

participants responded "No." This implies that a sizeable percentage of the participants do not

believe their current age truly represents their true age. This question's average score is 1.60,
which suggests a propensity for "No" responses. The participants' responses may have been

variable, as indicated by the standard deviation of 0.49. The factors influencing how they

perceive their age and how those factors connect to their individual situations and

experiences merit more investigation.

According to the data and participant replies, only 39.7% of the students said they felt their

real age was consistent with their current age, while 60.3% said they did not. When

participants choose to say "No," they offered insightful details about their own experiences.

These pupils talked about going through trying times, feeling stress, pressure, challenging

conditions, losing a loved one, and coping with overthinking and exhaustion as a result of

issues. On the other hand, individuals who chose "Yes" spoke of feeling happier, younger,

and like their lives were going well.


According to the examination of these answers, a significant percentage of the participants

may be dealing with challenges that cause a gap between their perceived and actual ages.

Stress, pressure, challenging situations, and personal losses appear to affect how they view

their age. On the other hand, people who feel younger and happier might have a more upbeat

attitude on life, which might affect how old they think they are.

It is crucial to remember that these conclusions are based on self-reported data, and that each

person's views and experiences will be unique. However, this information illuminates the

potential impact of many events on the participants' assessment of their age and offers

insightful information on the participants' subjective views about it. A deeper knowledge of

the participants' well-being and how it relates to how they perceive their age may result from

further study and investigation of these replies.

From the collected data, it can be observed that 39.7% of the participants in the English

language department have studied for 4-5 years, while the other 60.3% of the participants

have studied for 3 years. The average time spent learning English for the participants was

3.92 years with a standard deviation of 0.49. These results showed that the majority of
students (60.3%) studied in the English department for 3 years. In particular, the distribution

of participants by different study periods provides an insight into students' academic journeys

and level of English language experience.

The data reveals that out of the total participants, 39.7% (25 out of 63) indicated that they

have taken time off from studying at school or university. On the other hand, the majority of

respondents, 60.3% (38 out of 63), reported that they have not taken any breaks from their

studies. The average for this question is 1.60, with a standard deviation of 0.49, suggesting a

moderate level of variability in the responses. These findings highlight that a significant

portion of the participants have experienced interruptions in their academic journey, while the

majority have maintained a continuous study pattern.


From questions 4 and 5, it can be concluded that the majority of participants (60.3%) chose

the opportunity to study English at the department for three years and they are the same

which said “no”, they didn’t take a break from studying. This means that a large number of

participants did not drop out or take a break from school. This indicates that they are more

likely to continue in the program without requiring an additional academic year or repeating

any academic year. On the other hand, the participants (39.7%) who chose to study English

for 4-5 years there are the same who choose “yes” and an answer, and they may have chosen

a different path. This might include cases where some students decide to repeat a year or take

a break, resulting in longer English study duration, also it is important to note that individual

circumstances and personal preferences may influence their decision to extend their studies

beyond the normal three-year period.

initial choice. The mean for this question is 1.28 and the standard deviation is 0.45, indicating

a moderate degree of response variation. These results show that most of the participants

were willing to choose English as their main field of study, but a small number had other

choices.

study English. This high number shows that many individuals were drawn to studying

English because of the English language, culture, or environment in general, however, 20%

of respondents (12 individuals) said that their first option was a career in medicine, such as

becoming a dentist or doctor. These individuals could have had a particular passion for the

healthcare industry or aspired to work in medicine. It's noteworthy to note that a lower

percentage of participants (8.6%, or 6 individuals) stated that they had previously thought of

pursuing different careers including journalism, law, teaching ENS, or continuing their

studies in management and business.


SECTION: 02

Mental Health

Mental health refers to how well we can cope with the challenges and

emotions of everyday life. It involves our ability to think, feel, and act in ways

that allow us to enjoy life, build positive relationships with others, and handle

difficult situations. It is an essential factor for overall well-being, and students

need to prioritize their mental health, especially in the academic field in order to

achieve their best protentional and to be successful on the academic and the

personal level.

Filling out this questionnaire would help us in discovering your experience with

mental health during college time and identifying potential areas of concern to

be improved in hope of making your academic experience better and worth it.

According to the collected data, 33.3% of the participants (21 people) reported that they had

encountered mental health problems during their study journey. This shows that a large part

of the participants faced mental health problems during their studies and that’s might be due

to stress, anxiety, pression or unknown life problems on the other hand, 39.7% of the

participants (25 people) indicated that they had no mental health problems during the years of

study. Notably, 27.0% of participants (17 people) were unsure or undecided if they had a

mental health problem because they were not sure or maybe they didn’t understand

themselves, which may indicate a lack of awareness or difficulty identifying and

acknowledging such problems, however these findings highlight the prevalence of mental

health problems among university students and the need for adequate support and resources

to address and decrease or control this issue.

no impact on their mental health. 10.5% of respondents (15.9%) claimed that college had

minimal impact on their mental health, and 41.3% of respondents (26 persons) noted how

college had in some way impacted their mental health. On the other side, a sizeable

percentage of 36.5% (23 respondents) said that attending university had a huge influence on

their mental health. These results show that a sizable proportion of participants thought

college had a major effect on their mental health, and from this data we can conclude that

university has a huge impact on student's wellbeing.

In this question the statistics showed that 49.2% of respondents (31 individuals) believed that

their mental health will unquestionably influence their quality of life in college. 21 persons,

or 33.3%, claimed that their mental health in some way impacted their quality time. 6.3% (4

individuals) and 11.1% (7 people) respectively indicated mental health had no influence on

their quality time while 11.1% (7 people) felt it had a minimal impact.

And for those who indicated that university affects their quality time, it is likely because they

experience feelings of pressure, stress, and anxiety, which can have a negative impact on

their mental well-being and time management, also we should put in consideration that the

demanding nature of academic responsibilities, such as assignments, exams, and coursework,

creates a constant sense of pressure and stress which can be overwhelming and leave little

time for the personal activities or self-care.

experience mental health issues, which have varied degrees of an influence on their learning

quality and academic performance.

have mental health issues that have an impact on their ability to function academically,

particularly during examinations. Additionally, 26 out of 63 respondents (41.3%) stated

having similar difficulties prior to tests. 25.4% (16 out of 63) of those giving oral

presentations said they had mental health problems while doing so. 9.5% of respondents (6

out of 63) said "Other options" when asked when they typically have mental health issues

that affect their academic performance and we can conclude from these statistics that oral

presentation and exams release a huge stress on the student mental state.

their mental health issues and challenges, this suggests that a small but significant percentage

of students consistently use self-care as a method to deal with mental health, and 34.9% (22

of 63) reported regularly practicing self-care, indicating that more students regularly struggle

with managing their mental health, also 30.2% (19 of 63) responded that they occasionally

used self-care, and 17.5% reported that they never use self-care to address their mental

health, overall, these findings demonstrate the necessity of educating students about the

advantages of self-care routines in order to manage mental health concerns and advance

general overall well-being.

The data shows that only 7.9 % believe that their universities provide sufficient support and

resources for students who are struggling with mental health, however this demonstrates how

poorly satisfied pupils are with available resources, on the other hand the majority of the

students (87.3% 55 of 63) gave negative responses, suggesting that they don't think their

university offers enough help for mental health difficulties and that maybe because some of

them have struggled with mental health challenges and they did not found any support, rather

than the reason behind their mental health issues might be caused by the university itself,

however, this research suggests that university support services may have gaps that might

have an impact on students' academic progress and overall well-being, also a small category

4.8% (3 of 63) chose "Other," indicating that individuals may have conflicting or ambiguous

views on the sufficiency of campus mental health facilities and assistance.

assistance in comprehending, controlling and managing their mental health challenges, this

research emphasizes how critical it is to increase understanding, lessen stigma, and inform

students of the services available for mental health support, however, fewer respondents (12.7

academic lives and grades would be better if they learned how to properly manage their

mental health, this showed that individuals had a high belief in the association between

academic success and mental health and these students truly understand how essential it is to

be aware of mental health concerns and how it may affects their ability to succeed and gather

better grades. On the contrary a tiny minority of respondents (3.2%) only 2 students, they had

a whole different viewpoint, showing that they did not necessarily think that having mental

whereas three students (4.8%) said "Occasionally", additionally, 25 students (39.7%) stated

they felt comfortable discussing their mental health difficulties with their EFL professors or

majority of students (39.7%) said they had never felt at ease talking about their mental health

problems with their EFL professors or language instructors, also 28.6% of students said they

seldom felt comfortable. The remaining percentages show varied degrees of comfort; smaller

percentages report feeling comfortable occasionally (17.5%), occasionally (4.8%), regularly

(6.3%), and usually (3.2%), we can conclude that the big majority is underline under the

category of “ Rarely and Never” and that maybe because they’ve never felt comfortable to

share their true emotions and thoughts with their EFL teachers, and that’s may go back to

many reasons like the fact that some teachers may seem cruel or hard to deal with, some also

may look difficult and stubborn and others may have a reputation in the department for being

hard to deal with which results in a feeling of avoidance between the teachers and students.

tests were noted by 18 students (28.6%), also for scores were particularly identified as a

significant source of stress by 7 students (11.1%).

Also, teachers (who received 3 responses, or 4.8%) and the educational plan (8 responses, or

12.7%) were additional stressors.

However, the majority of students which is about (42.9%) pointed that oral presentations as

the most challenging part of learning English, according to the statistics, exams and tests

were claimed to be stressful by 28.6% students, while scores were mentioned as a severe

stressor by 11.1% of respondents, in addition, teachers (4.8%) and the educational curriculum

(12.7%) were mentioned as stressors in smaller amounts.


For oral presentations it is claimed to be the most stressful type of situation for students and

that’s maybe due to many aspects like the lack of confidence for some students and others

may have social anxiety disorder or speaking in public phobia, and according to 28.6% of

students, tests and exams cause stress, reflecting the pressure and anxiety associated with

assessment and evaluation, additionally, a sizable percentage of respondents (11.1%) said that

their stress levels are influenced by their grades, particularly their dread of receiving bad

grades.

21- What do you think that teachers can do to help you improve your learning journey?
regarding mental health?
From the answers of this question, 99% of the responses focused mainly on using QSM

questions that are based on understanding and limiting the lesson like no more than “5”

lesson in an exam and using better techniques that keeps the students motivated and

interested with the lesson.

grade (low mark) just one week prior, and a month earlier about 23 students (36.5%) earned a

bad grade, while the majority of 34 students (54.0%) said it had been a very long time since

they had a bad score, we can conclude that the majority of respondents (54.0%) stated in the

survey that it has been a very long time since they obtained a bad mark at university and this

indicates that the majority of responders have recently had successful academic years.

Yet a sizable number of respondents (36.5%) (23 student) claimed to have received a poor

grade one month prior, suggesting that they had very recently some academic difficulties in

their learning journey, however, a smaller category of 6 students (9.5%) got a low grade as

recently as one week ago, indicating that some people may still be having academic

problems.

worried, and only two students (3.2%) fell into the "Other" category, offering replies that

don't fit into the specified alternatives, while four respondents (6.3%) said they felt nothing at

all, however, based on the results' percentages, the majority of students (38.1%) claimed to

experience sadness after earning a low grade, also (34.9%) reported feeling apprehensive,

while (17.5%) reported feeling furious, and (6.3%) said they had no specific feelings, while

It is clear from the research that getting a negative grade (low mark) causes most of the

students to experience a range of emotions, for sadness it was the most often reported

emotion, with 38.1% of respondents reporting it, so we conclude that a sizable majority of

people experience disappointment or discouragement when their academic performance falls

short of expectations.

factor by 5 students (7.9%), additionally, 15 student (23.8%) said that a combination of all

the previously stated factors contributed to their poor test results, and only 2 (3.2%) students

has chosen “none of the above”.

by 34.9% of student, and about 20 student 6% noted stress, and 9.5% stated anxiety. 7.9% of

those surveyed said the task was tough and difficult, also, a big percentage of respondents

(23.8%) claimed that the combination of all the variables is the reason behind their poor test

results, 3.2% of the students reported having none of the mentioned factors.
According to the statistics, being unprepared was the most often chosen reason for poor

performance, with a sizable percentage (34.9%) attributing their poor performance to this

reason, this suggests that a lack of preparation, such as insufficient studying or a lack of

comprehension of the subject, has a big impact on academic achievement.

And as we can notice that 20.6% of respondents cited stress as the reason for their poor

grades this highlights the negative effects of stress on academic performance, also 9.5%

expressed anxiety, indicating that emotional issues may play a role in lowering the students'

performance.

is the right thing to do, In order to deal with receiving a poor grade, 16 student (25.4%) said

they would put in more effort the next time.

However, based on the percentages, blaming themselves was the most often stated coping

strategy, used by 42.9% of students and that’s might be due to the realization the it’s non

one’s fault expects the student regarding his scores, also 22.2% of respondents said they were

taking it easy and that’s the chilling type and which is also the right thing to do cause regret

and feeling negative emptions won't change the score, while 9.5% blamed the teacher and

They might be right sometimes to think or feel this way because they may find that some

Here we are concluding this study of “investigating the relationship

between mental health and academic performance” by examining the

correlation relationship between students’ mental health and their academic

scores.

Your answers will clarify the impact of mental health on students’

quality of life and mental health while scores do not matter in this aspect, according to ten

respondents (15.9%).
And based on the percentages, the majority of students (84.1%) agreed that the test results do

have an impact on students' quality of life and mental health, and only 15.9% of students said

that scores had no bearing on these factors.

It is clear from the data that the majority of students (84.1%) think that test results do have an

impact on life quality and mental health and this implies that people believe there is a

connection between academic success and happiness, showing that they view their grades as

having an impact on their general quality of life and mental health.

Also, the data shows fewer students (15.9%) expressed the opinion that test results had no

bearing on one's quality of life or mental health, and this suggests that these people may value

other elements of their lives more or have different ideas on the relevance of academic

success since they do not believe there is a clear correlation between their academic

performance and their wellbeing.

at all, while the majority (49.2%) said that mental health had a considerable impact on their

academic performance.

We can conclude from the statistics that a sizeable percentage of the students that (49.2%)

think that their mental health has a major impact on their academic performance, this

suggests that they believe there is a direct link between their mental health and their academic

performance, it implies that when a person's mental health is impaired, it can significantly

affect their academic success and performance, and for the other 44.4% of student said their

mental health had a moderate influence on their academic achievement this shows that

although the impact may not be as noticeable as for those who experience a large deal of

performance or grades since beginning to experience mental health issues and 19 students

(30.2%) were unsure or could not give a clear answer, while 6 students (9.5%) said they had

not seen any changes and according to this data we can observe that the majority of students

(60.3%) claimed that after encountering mental health issues, their grades or academic

performance had changed, a sizable majority of respondents (30.2%) were unclear or could

not give a clear answer, while a tiny percentage (9.5%) did not notice any changes.

We can conclude that a big percentage of students (60.3%) stated that they had seen changes

in their academic performance or grades since beginning to experience mental health issues,

this shows that mental health problems may affect academic performance and may cause

changes or losses in grades and degradation of level.

However, a lower proportion of students (9.5%) claimed that they had not seen any changes

in their academic performance or grades after beginning to experience mental health issues.

This suggests that some people may have been resilient or had excellent coping mechanisms

since they were still able to maintain their academic achievement in spite of their mental

health issues.
