As determined in scientific studies, general self-efficacy is focused on more and this should be examined in academic self-efficacy known to be to student learning and achievement.

The gap

Supporting evidence — 7 representative gaps

• Building mathematics self-efficacy of STEM undergraduates through mathematical modelling (2019) · doi

  While previous research has established that mathematics self-efficacy is an important predictor of undergraduate STEM persistence, little is known about what interventions may support student gains in mathematics self-efficacy at this level.

• Culture predicts Mexican Americans' college self-efficacy and college performance. (2011) · doi

  A gap in the literature exists between the interactive role of acculturation, enculturation, and generation status in predicting college self-efficacy and college performance (grade-point average, or GPA).

• Adolescent Self-Efficacy as a Driver of Academic Achievement (2026) · doi

  While self-efficacy is recognized as a critical predictor of academic success, the specific mechanisms through which it operates, the conditions that moderate its effects, and variations across different groups remain underexplored in an integrated manner.

• Associations of Career Decision-Making Strategies With Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy and Difficulties Among French-Speaking Swiss Adolescents and Young Adults (2024) · doi

  Although some strategies are deemed adaptive, the differential links of career decision-making strategies to self-efficacy and difficulties, in general and in various cultural contexts, remain unclear.

• Analyzing the Relationship between Campus Environments and Academic Self-Efficacy in College (2021) · doi

  There is some evidence that students’ success in higher education is partially a function of their self-efficacy beliefs, but little is known about how campus environments shape academic self-efficacy.
