Relationship of Academic SE to Self-Regulated Learning, SI, Test Anxiety and Academic Achievement
Abstract
The study was conducted to analyse the relationship of academic self-efficacy to
self-regulated learning, school identification, test anxiety and academic achievement at
secondary school level. Another purpose was to examine whether self-efficacy and school
identification predict academic achievement or not. Four instruments were administered to a
sample of 426 students of Grade 10 (205 boys, and 221 girls). Results revealed significant
correlation between the variables. Strongest relationship was found between students‟
academic self-efficacy and self-efficacy for self-regulation. Self-efficacy beliefs at academic
domain level were found contributing significantly to the prediction of academic
achievement. Significant gender differences were not found on measures of self-efficacy
beliefs at academic domain level, school identification, and anxiety. Girls‟ academic
achievement was found better than the boys‟ achievement. Boys were reported better than
girls on measure of self-efficacy for self-regulated learning.
