Self-Efficacy Beliefs in Academic Settings.
Pajares, Frank
Review of Educational Research, v66 n4 p543-78 Win 1996
The contribution made by the self-efficacy component of A. Bandura's (1986) social cognitive theory to the study of self-regulation and motivation in academic settings was studied. Findings demonstrate that particularized measures of self-efficacy that correspond to critical tasks surpass global measures in outcome explanation and prediction. (SLD)
