Academic Self-Efficacy :·REL Project 4.2.12 14 ........... APPALACHIA ...._

What is self-efficacy? Belief in one's ability to succeed or to accomplish a task (Bandura, 1994). Our sense of self-efficacy can play a major role in how we approach goals, tasks, and challenges (Usher & Pajares, 2008). Self-efficacy is domain-specific. Academic self-efficacy is a predictor for postsecondary performance and persistence (Robbins et al, 2004). :·REL Project 4.2.12 15 APPALACHIA ............... ...._
