The study, evaluation, and improvement of university student self-efficacy
Open accessAbstract
In this review of 64 articles published since the year 2000, a strong association between self-efficacy and student learning outcomes was apparent. Self-efficacy is also related to other factors such as value, self-regulation and metacognition, locus of control, intrinsic motivation, and strategy learning use. The review revealed that university student self-efficacy is higher under certain conditions than others, and that it can be improved. Examples of teaching strategies that may be used to improve self-efficacy are outlined. In screening articles for inclusion in the review, several conflicting definitions of self-efficacy arose. Clarification on the meaning and scope of the self-efficacy term is provided. The interpretation of the results of some studies reviewed was limited by design or analysis issues. Suggestions for addressing these issues in future research and evaluation work is given.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
