Self-Efficacy And Academic Performance

828 Words4 Pages

One of the constructs that is related to academic motivion and learning is self-efficacy. Self-efficacy, as defined by Albert Bandura, is the “belief in one’s capabilities to organize and execute the courses of action required to manage prospective situations.” It is known as the confidence in our ability of successfully achieving a particular task producing a satisfactory outcome (Akhtar, 2008). Self-efficacy is related to other related constructs in terms of close correspondence to task but differs from self-belief measures. Among the other motivational constructs, it shows that it has a convergent validity in predicting forms of motivations in effort, persistence and emotional reactions. It has been also known as a highly effective predictor …show more content…

Further, the study also revealed that the level of self-efficacy according to gender is different. Male respondents obtained a higher level of self-efficacy compared to female respondents (Akram & Ghazanfar, 2014). Another study examined the role of self-efficacy in team discourse and achievement. Results show that self-efficacy is significantly and positively correlated to academic performance. In most of the studies mentioned, the level of self-efficacy is found to be different in terms of gender (Purzer, …show more content…

However, up to this time, there were no studies yet examining the relationship of self-efficacy as a predictor of academic performance on diverse learners in an inclusive set-up. Thus, this study is timely for this matter. The purpose of this study therefore is to determine the level of self-efficacy of the junior high school students in the reverse integration program along general, task-specific and academic self-efficacy. Moreover, this study determines whether self-efficacy is a predictor of academic performance in the students in a reverse inclusion class. More so, this study determines the relationship of the two variables as well as the difference of level of self-efficacy and academic performance along grade level. Finally, this study aims to create an intervention/enhancement plan of the reverse integration program suited to the learning needs of the junior high school

    Self-efficacy is best explained by Bandura (1995) who says that it "refers to beliefs in one's capabilities to organize and execute the courses of action required to manage prospective situations". More simply, self-efficacy is what an individual believes he or she can accomplish using his or her skills under certain circumstances (Snyder & Lopez, 2007). Self-efficacy has been thought to be a task-specific version of self-esteem. The basic principle behind Self-Efficacy Theory is that individuals are more likely to engage in activities for which they have high self-efficacy and less likely to engage in those they do not (Van der Bijl & Shortridge-Baggett, 2002). I think that this research by Snyder & lopez is particularly relevant to Simons case as.

    Moreover, I believe that integration can enhance a person’s ability to learn from others and help them work with diverse individuals. According to Wolf-Wendel, Ward, & Kinzie (2009), integration depends on a student’s ability to share common beliefs and attitudes with their peers and teachers. Integration is very common in our educational system and it begins as early as elementary school. However, I believe that the best predictor of learning and personal development is based on the amount of “time and energy students devote to educationally purposeful activities” (Wolf-Wendel & Ward & Kinzie, 2009).

    The social and academic benefits of inclusion of students with disabilities in regular classes have been well documented (Drasgow&Stoxen,2003). However, opportunities for inclusion are limited due to lack of qualified staff, developmentally appropriate activities and other difficulties in catering special needs in the general education setting. With these difficulties, many students with special learning needs are served in a self-contained class that allows them to interact with typically developing students through the establishment of reverse inclusion in the classroom setting (Schoger,2006).

    “Self-efficacy” is an important concept to keep in mind for students who are struggling with their literacy abilities “Research in the field of writing also shows that self-efficacy promotes motivation and learning and that modeling, goal setting, and self-evaluation exert desirable effects as well.” (Schunk, 2003, p. 6). Student’s self–efficacy play’s a huge role in their motivation and learning strategies. It is important for all students to have the confidence they need in order to participate in their studies efficiently and effectively. Student’s self-evaluations of their ability to perform in and out of the classroom is what indicates their perception of themselves as a student.

    Thesis statement “Inclusion Helps Special Needs Students by Allowing Them to Develop Interactional Skills Because of the Exposure to a Social Environment.” Inclusion in education is an approach to educate students with special needs in regular classrooms, rejecting the need of special schools. The aim of this paper will be to demonstrate that inclusion of special needs students in regular classrooms helps them not only by developing interactional skills but also by allowing them to grow in a more desirable way in school. However, inclusion is not completely beneficial. One must consider that special needs is an umbrella of several necessities that demand different approaches.

  • Teacher Efficacy And Mastery Experiences

    Some components of teacher efficacy include: developing an organized classroom environment that is supportive of positive and meaningful learning, positive beliefs and development of instructional activities in different domains of learning, engaging the involvement of parents and sourcing resources needed for learning tasks, and redirecting negative influences that may affect the flow of the academic accomplishments of students (Marat, 2007, para. 3). A strategy that can be utilized by administrators in assisting teachers in developing a high degree of teacher efficacy involves providing information on the relevance of learning in students lives. This strategy of providing information on the relevance of learning in the lives of students would be undergirded by a series of workshops that would expose teachers to components of quality and effective learning, the nature of the pubescent child, the role of culture in the process of assimilation and equilibration and how learning can be developed and supported by positive self-beliefs among students with low-self image. Workshops would be conducted for three hours per week and would involve a reflective component where teachers selected for this

    According to UNESCO, inclusive education is a process of addressing and responding to the diverse needs of all children by increasing participation in learning and reducing exclusion within and from education (Nguyet and Ha 2010). Inclusive education is a process of increasing the presence, participation and achievement of all learners (Booth and Ainscow 2002). The process involves mainstreaming children with special educational needs into regular classroom settings, allowing them to learn side by side with their peers without disabilities. Inclusive education implies that children with special educational needs have to attend mainstream schools they would have attended if they did not have a disability. Mainstreaming children with special needs education has a positive impact on both social and academic learning for children with and without special needs (Farrell 2000).

    For students with disabilities, utilizing self-determination strategies may help with obtaining, accessing, and benefitting from classroom modifications such as having a note-taker, extended time on tests, and testing in a small group environment. The reason that the LD category will be selected for this study is because of the 13 educational classifications defined by IDEA, the LD category is the most frequently utilized for eligibility and as such has the greatest opportunity for adjustment in the school and postsecondary environment. In this mid-Atlantic State, the Department of Education has calculated that of the 220,000 students found eligible for special education, over 73,000 students or 5.28% are identified as eligible with the Specific Learning Disability classification in 2013 (Department of Education, 2013). In preparing a student with a LD to transition from secondary school to a postsecondary setting such as college or a vocational setting, acquisition of self-determination strategies comes into play. Research has resulted in the formation of self-determination curricula such as Self-Determined Learning Model of Instruction (Cho, Wehmeyer, & Kingston, 2012, p. 27).
