Keywords:
Self-efficacy, Student success, Academic achievementAbstract
In the pursuit of academic achievement, students' beliefs in their own abilities, commonly referred to as self-efficacy, play a critical role. This paper investigates the influence of self-efficacy on student success across various educational contexts. Drawing upon psychological theories and empirical research, the paper explores the mechanisms through which self-efficacy impacts students' academic performance, motivation, and persistence. Furthermore, it examines the factors that shape and enhance self-efficacy beliefs, including teacher support, peer interactions, and instructional strategies. By synthesizing insights from diverse studies, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted relationship between self-efficacy and student success, offering implications for educational practice and policy.
