Academic self-efficacy among postgraduate students at the College of Education for Girls

Abstract

The goal of the current research is to identify the level of academic self-efficacy among postgraduate students at the College of Education for Girls. To achieve the research goal, the researcher adopted the descriptive approach, and the research sample was chosen randomly and amounted to (126) male and female students. To achieve the research goal, the researcher built an academic self-efficacy scale, which is Out of (33) paragraphs in their final form, the answer alternatives were (5) alternatives, which are (applies to me often, applies to me sometimes, applies to me rarely, does not apply to me). The researcher verified the apparent and constructive validity of the tool, and the stability of the tool was verified using a method. It was applied to (60) students using the Cronbach's alpha internal consistency method, which reached a reliability coefficient value of (0.79), which is a good indicator for the scale.

The researcher also used the statistical program Spss, and the data was treated statistically using (Pearson’s correlation coefficient, t-test for two independent samples, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, chi-square, t-test for one sample, t-test for two correlated samples).
