A Secondary Vocational School Students' Mental Health And Academic Achievement Associated With Research

Objectives:In order to give scientific bases and recommendations about strengthening mental health education, reducing psychological problems of students and improving student's achievement, we do a mental health test to students from a secondary vocational school and analysis their final examination scores since they enrolled, using statistical analysis to study the correlation between their mental health and academic achievement.Methods:Literature research, questionnaire test, statistical analysis.Results:I collect students'admission results and all final examination,carried out a comprehensive evaluation about mental health of 270 students from the school, took "Mental Health Test" (MHT) questionnaire as a test tool and calculated test scores of the survey, analysis the data with SPSS 17.0. The results show that most students'admission results are not good.Many students are girls and from country. Courses are based on memory and started operating in difficulty and the moderate.in five term, Many students'average final examination score are between 70 and 90, students below 60 and above 90 are seldom. In the first 100 students,there are 91 girls and 9boys; In 101 to 200,56 students are girls and 44 students are boys; In 201 to 221,2 students are girls and 19 students are boys. Girls are better then boys.The results show that students have normal mental health. We have 5 students, 2.3% of total, got a medium severity score in MHT test.The result show Learning Anxiety particularly is the worst mental health. The ratio is 35.7%.The second is Body Symptoms,The ratio is 14.5%.Others are Allergic tendencies(9.5%)>Anxiety to People(4.5%)>TendencytoBlameOneself(3.6%)=Terrorist endencies(3.6 %)>Impulsion Tendency(3.2%)>Lonely tendency(2.3%).Schoolgirls have worse mental health than schoolboys. There is no significant difference between urban students and rural students. The data sufficiently illustrates the necessity and urgency of mental health education in secondary vocational school. A mental unhealthy student couldn't become qualified personnel for national development. Thus, implementing mental health education in secondary vocational school to make every student have healthy psychological quality not only benefit to the school teaching, but also infuse new life into moral education.Based on MHT test, these three factors, learning anxiety, self-blame tendency and physical symptom highly correlated with academic achievement. Schoolgirls have better achievement than schoolboys. Students'achievement and student background (urban or rural) have no significant correlation.Conclusion:Our school should implement mental health work for secondary vocational students based on gender characteristics. According to their own characteristics of every student and existent problems, some preventive measures need to be done. We must fully inspire teachers and parents so they could intervene in students'learning activities with right attitude. These three sides closely cooperate with each other and form a resultant force which could improve the level of mental health.
