Academic Self-Efficacy

Academic self-efficacy refers to a student's confidence in their ability to successfully complete academic tasks and challenges. It influences motivation, persistence, and resilience when facing difficult coursework. A student with high academic self-efficacy believes they can learn new material, solve problems, and achieve their educational goals, which often leads to better performance. Conversely, low self-efficacy may cause doubt and avoidance of challenging tasks. This mindset is shaped by past experiences, feedback, and support, and can be improved through incremental success and positive reinforcement. Ultimately, it plays a crucial role in academic achievement and personal growth.
