Self-efficacy and strategies to influence the study environment.
(2010) In Teaching in Higher Education 15(6). p.647-659- Abstract
- This study investigates the relationship between student influence and academic self-efficacy in a sample of 275 students in two Master’s programmes in Engineering. Students in only one of the programmes studied according to problem-based learning (PBL). Results indicate that students choosing strategies to influence course content or structure, through course evaluation and recommending changes to teachers had significantly higher self-efficacy beliefs
than those who did not use such strategies. It is principally the students who studied according to PBL that demonstrated higher self-efficacy beliefs, actively influenced their studies through engaging in debate with teachers.
