The Impact of Self-Efficacy Beliefs on Student Performance: A Comprehensive Analysis across Educational Levels and Disciplines

Abstract:

This research explores the intricate relationship between self-efficacy beliefs and student academic performance across diverse educational levels and disciplinary contexts. Employing a mixed-methods approach involving quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews, we delve into the impact of self-efficacy on students' educational achievements. Our quantitative analysis establishes a consistent positive correlation between self-efficacy and academic performance. This connection is further illuminated by qualitative insights, which highlight how self-efficacy fosters motivation, perseverance, and effective study habits. Recognizing the contextual variations, we advocate for tailored educational strategies that capitalize on self-efficacy to enhance student outcomes. This study underscores the significance of nurturing positive self-efficacy beliefs to optimize educational experiences.
