This study set out to examine what extent a of psychological, health and socio‐demographic factors are associated with self‐efficacy (SE) in large sample over 12,000 participants two‐year period. We were interested the correlates (criterion variable) gender, age, education occupation, Big‐Five personality cognitive ability, as well mental physical (predictor variables). Regression analyses showed that four (extraversion, neuroticism, conscientiousness, openness), health, occupation all significant independent predictors self‐efficacy, accounting for 23% variance outcome variable.

Re-Evaluating Components of Classical Educational Theories in AI-Enhanced Learning: An Empirical Study on Student Engagement

Education Sciences, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(9), P. 974 - 974

Published: Sept. 3, 2024

The primary goal of this research was to empirically identify and validate the factors influencing student engagement in a learning environment where AI-based chat tools, such as ChatGPT or other large language models (LLMs), are intensively integrated into curriculum teaching–learning process. Traditional educational theories provide robust framework for understanding diverse dimensions engagement, but integration tools offers new personalized experiences, immediate feedback, resource accessibility that necessitate contemporary exploration these foundational concepts. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) utilized uncover underlying factor structure within set variables, Confirmatory (CFA) employed verify identified by EFA. Four have been identified: “Academic Self-Efficacy Preparedness”, “Autonomy Resource Utilization”, “Interest Engagement”, “Self-Regulation Goal Setting.” Based on factors, measuring scale has developed comprehensively assess AI-enhanced environments.

The relationship between study resources, task performance and subjective wellbeing among university students: The role of academic self‐efficacy as personal resource

Review of Education, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 13(1)

Published: Jan. 2, 2025

Abstract Most universities are facing a crisis of student wellbeing and high failure rates. Using the Conservation Resources theory, we hypothesised that both study resources personal (academic self‐efficacy) could enhance task performance improve among university students. We conducted cross‐sectional on 431 used standardised questionnaires to assess students' levels academic self‐efficacy (ASE), availability use resources, their performance, subjective wellbeing. The results supported all direct effects outcome variables. ASE mediated relationship between well‐being but did not mediate performance. In addition, Addressing interplay positive outcomes (i.e. wellbeing) can foster optimal learning environments support success This promote holistic development contribute well‐rounded flourishing student. Context implications Rationale for this study: explores how (ASE) as resource functions psychological mechanism explains effect outcomes. Understanding these dynamics inform strategies leading better improved Why new findings matter: By understanding role in mediating students, educational practices, more effective allocation, programmes bolster confidence. interventions broader discussions create supportive prioritise mental health. Implications educators policymakers higher education institutions: emphasises need institutions focus enhancing overall Access quality materials is crucial should be prioritised. Programmes boost self‐efficacy, such mentoring, counselling, workshops, recommended, alongside curriculum integration self‐efficacy‐promoting activities like goal setting reflective practices. Institutions also provide comprehensive services growth, including health skills initiatives. Updating library collections, technology access, fostering faculty‐student collaboration essential actions. Additionally, implementing services, skill programmes, peer collaborative directly utilisation. Continuous evaluation sustained success.

The 9-item Academic Self-Efficacy (ASE) scale: validity, reliability and measurement invariance across sexes and six Arab nations

Scientific Reports, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(1)

Published: April 12, 2025

Academic self-efficacy (ASE), the belief in one's ability to succeed academic tasks, plays a crucial role student motivation, learning, and performance. Reliable measurement of this construct is essential for identifying students' strengths areas improvement. This study aims translate validate Self-Efficacy Scale use among university students from six different Arab countries. Using Snowball sampling technique, participants (n = 2131), countries (i.e., KSA, UAE, Egypt, Lebanon, Oman, Kuwait), answered demographic questions completed Arabic Scale, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-8, Multidimensional Social Support Scale. Confirmatory Factor Analysis proved one-factor solution ASE scale. Adequate composite reliability was found (ω =.96; α =.96). Convergent concurrent validity assessed proven by negative correlation with measures psychological distress positive social support. Our translation scale invariant across sexes countries, females scoring significantly higher than males. version validated reliable tool assessing speaking populations, shall provide means confidence their abilities help improve

Background: It is increasingly essential for translators to possess a high level of technological proficiency succeed in their work, as technology becoming an integral part and common practice the translation industry. Several previous studies found that critical thinking, academic self-efficacy, cultural intelligence independently influenced competence college students. However, underlying psychological mechanism through which these salient factors affect student translators' has not been fully explored. Therefore, this research sought examine systematic interactions between intelligence, among Methods: This study adopted empirical approach collect data from 663 seniors 7 colleges China.

Abstract Despite its popularity in practice, the Grit-O Scale has shown inconsistent factorial structures and differing levels of internal consistency samples outside USA. The validity different contexts is, therefore, questionable. As such, purpose this paper was to determine whether could be used as a valid reliable measure compare grit across nations. Specifically, aim investigate validity, reliability, concurrent measurement invariance three national cohorts (Europe, USA, Hong Kong). Data were gathered from 1888 respondents stemming one USA- ( n = 471), two Kong- 361) four European 1056) universities.

The academic task performance scale: psychometric properties, and measurement invariance across ages, genders and nations

Academic task performance (TP) refers to the proficiency with which students perform in academic tasks through making right choices and completing core central their studies, on time specification. We adapted Koopmans et al.’s scale (TPS) for use within tertiary education investigated its psychometric properties, internal consistency measurement invariance across age, gender national groups university ( n = 3,265). The results showed that a hierarchical ESEM model one higher-order factor consisting of management efficiency fitted data best. TPS exhibited full age groups, implying latent mean scores can be used determine differences. However, could only partially established cohorts, cross-national comparisons may not possible. These findings offer preliminary support as valid instrument gauging students’ performance.

Passion for studying can be considered a significant factor that promotes well-being and mental health in students. This study aimed to examine whether the psychological characteristics of students with passion differed from those without one. To compare these two groups, we used set different variables (e.g., academic burnout vitality), as well integrated both person-centered (i.e., group comparison research) variable-centered correlational analysis) approaches. During classes, one hundred fifty-four Polish university completed comprehensive short self-report questionnaires online on characteristics, including related studying, burnout, general self-efficacy), psychopathology symptoms, perceived stress somatic complaints, personal resources (vitality, resilience, self-esteem, optimism). We noted multiple statistically differences between studied groups Thus, harmonious passionate tended have more favorable within or compared non-passionate A seems potential health-promoting health-protecting effects, whereas lack may lead less outcomes.
