The Relationship

The present study aims to understand the relationship between the big five factors of personality and academic motivation. In addition, the following variables are taken into consideration; sex, age and type of educational studies. A quantitative methodology is used, in base to a not experimental, correlational study. The sample is composed of 514 students of the Faculty of Education of Leon’s University, between the three education degrees. To gather the information, participants were asked to complete the Learning and Motivation Strategies Questionnaire (CEAM) and the Personality Questionnaire Five Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI). The results show the significant relationship between personality facets and motivation variables. It should be noted that female results were higher in the values of intrinsic motivation, motivation towards teamwork, neuroticism, and kindness, and the male results were higher in self-efficacy. Additionally, it was observed that intrinsic motivation decreases progressively from the first to the fourth year of the degree, the need for recognition decreases in the two last study years, and the openness to experiences is higher in the last year of the degree. Finally, Social Education students are those that show a higher intrinsic motivation, self-efficacy, total motivation, openness to experiences, and neuroticism, while Primary Education students’ results were higher in the need for recognition.

The Relationship

College students are sleeping less during the week than reported a few years ago. Lack of sleep among college students has been identified as one of the top three healthrelated impediments to academic performance by the American College Health Association’s National College Health Assessment survey; and it is associated with lower grades, incompletion of courses, as well as negative moods. This research examines the underlying dynamics of lack of sleep on academic motivation, a key predictor of academic performance. Specifically, the relationship of sleep habits with self-efficacy, performance versus mastery goal orientation, persistence, and tendency to procrastinate were investigated. Findings indicate that 42% of the participants (159 students out of a total of 377) experience excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS); and those identified with EDS tend: (1) to be motivated by performance goals rather than mastery goals; (2) to engage in procrastination (a self-handicapping strategy) to a greater extent than students who are rested; and (3) to have decreased self-efficacy, as compared to students not reporting EDS. Several recommendations for campus health professionals to consider for a Healthy Campus Initiative are made based on the findings.

Practical Implications

Purpose – There is evidence that students who attend Technical and Further Education (TAFE) prior to entering higher education underperform in their first year of study. The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of self-efficacy in understanding the performance of students who completed TAFE in the previous year in a first year subject of microeconomics in a dual sector university in Melbourne, Australia. Design/methodology/approach – The study utilises data collected by surveys of 151 students. Findings – A student’s self-efficacy is positively associated with their marks in a first year subject of microeconomics. However, the relationship between final marks and self-efficacy is negative for those students who attended TAFE in the previous year suggesting that they suffer from the problem of overconfidence. When holding self-efficacy constant, using econometric techniques, TAFE attendance is found to be positively related to final marks. Research limitations/implications – The findings are exploratory (based on a small sample) and lead to a need to conduct cross institutional studies. Practical implications – The research points to the need for early interventions so that TAFE students perform well in their first year of higher education. It also points to potential issues in the development of Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) programs. Originality/value – To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first paper to examine the inter-related impact of attendance at TAFE in the previous year and self-efficacy on the subsequent academic performance of TAFE students.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Cumhuriyet University Faculty of Education students’ levels of speaking anxiety are predicted by the variables of gender, department, grade, such sub-dimensions of “Speaking Self-Efficacy Scale for Pre-Service Teachers” as “public speaking”, “effective speaking”, “applying the speaking rules”, “organizing the speech content”, and “evaluating the speech”. Correlational survey model is employed in the study. While the dependent variable of the study is students’ “speaking anxiety”, its independent variables are gender, department, grade, and such sub-dimensions of “Speaking Self-Efficacy Scale for Pre-Service Teachers” as “public speaking”, “effective speaking”, “applying the speaking rules”, “organizing the speech content”, and “evaluating the speech”. The research population consists of 2983 students studying at seven departments of Faculty of Education of Cumhuriyet University in the 2015-2016 academic year. The research sample, on the other hand, is composed of 1057 students from seven departments of Faculty of Education of Cumhuriyet University. Data were collected via “Scale of Speaking Anxiety for Prospective Teachers”, which was developed by Kınay and Özkan (2014) to determine pre-service teachers’ speaking anxiety, and “Speaking Self-Efficacy Scale for Pre-Service Teachers”, which was developed by Katrancı and Melanlıoğlu (2013) to determine pre-service teachers’ speaking self-efficacy. Data were collected through ordinal logistic regression analysis as the dependent variable was made three-category and ordinal through cluster analysis. According to the logistic regression analysis results, gender, department, such sub-dimensions of “Speaking Self-Efficacy Scale for Pre-Service Teachers” as “public speaking” and “applying the speaking rules” have a significant influence on speaking anxiety.

The Relationship

Background: This study examined the relationship of academic performance with the Big Five traits of personality, academic motivation, and gender in a cross-cultural context. Methods: Participants in the study were 424 university students of physical education (PE) departments from Poland (53%) and Ukraine (47%). Undergraduates completed a brief version of the International Personality Item Pool (Mini-IPIP) to assess the Five-Factor model of personality, the Academic Motivations Scale (AMS), and grade point average (GPA). Results: Polish PE students scored higher in emotional stability and extroversion and had a higher GPA than Ukrainian PE undergraduates. Gender differences were found in both personality traits and academic motivation scales. Intrinsic motivation may predict academic performance. Conscientiousness and intellect emerged as mediators of the relationship between intrinsic motivation and academic performance and gender was found as a moderator in the relationship between conscientiousness and academic success. Conclusions: Women are more motivated regarding academic achievements than men. In addition to intrinsic motivation, the most important factors for academic grades are some personality traits, gender, and cultural differences. Openness and conscientiousness in men are mediators between intrinsic motivation and academic performance. The results of this study may be useful for PE academic teachers to improve the motivation of their students.

This study examined the relationship between perceived motivational climate and intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy and determined the role of goal orientation and perceived motivational climate in predicting intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy. College students (N= 285) enrolled in beginning tennis classes completed a battery of questionnaires assessing perceived motivational climate, goal orientation, intrinsic motivation, self-efficacy, and perceived ability. Perceptions of mastery climate were positively associated with enjoyment, effort, perceived competence, and self-efficacy and were inversely related to tension. In males, dispositional goal orientation and perceived motivational climate emerged as equally important predictors of intrinsic motivation, while mastery motivational climate was the only significant predictor of self-efficacy. In females, performance motivational climate was the strongest predictor of intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy. Perceived normative ability accounted for a substantial amount of unique variance in intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy in both males and females. The motivational implications of the findings are discussed, and directions for future research are provided.

O objetivo do estudo foi revisar sistematicamente as pesquisas que analisaram a relação do autoconceito com o rendimento acadêmico de adolescentes do ensino médio, bem como verificar quais variáveis e contextos dentro da escola foram abordados em conjunto ao autoconceito, para melhor explicar essa relação. A revisão incluiu estudos publicados nos últimos 10 anos nas bases eletrônicas de trabalhos científicos: ERIC/Thesaurus, MEDLINE/Pubmed, SportDiscus, SciELO e Web of Science. Foram utilizados os descritores caracterizando componentes do autoconceito (self, self-concept e self-psychology) com os descritores relacionados ao rendimento acadêmico, em que também se considerou a capacidade acadêmica percebida (academic achievement, underachievement, educational achievement, perception of competence, competence perception, self-efficacy). Dez estudos foram incluídos na revisão. A relação entre autoconceito e desempenho acadêmico mostrou-se consistente e se confirmou em nove dos 10 trabalhos. Outras variáveis também se apresentaram importantes na explicação do desfecho do rendimento acadêmico, tais como a motivação acadêmica, a prática de atividades extracurriculares, a autoeficácia acadêmica e o envolvimento dos pais.Palavras-chave:Estudantes; Psicologia do self; Adolescente; Avaliação do rendimento ABSTRACTThe aim of the study was to systematically review the studies that analyzed the relationship between self-concept and academic achievement in high school students, as well as to verify which variables and contexts within the school were approached together with self-concept, to better explain this relationship. The review included studies published in the last ten years in the scientific electronic databases: ERIC/Thesaurus, MEDLINE/Pubmed, SportDiscus, SciELO and Web of Science. The descriptors that characterized the components of self-concept used were those of self, self-concept and self-psychology, and the descriptors related to academic achievement, academic achievement, underachievement, educational achievement, perception of competence, competence perception and self-efficacy. Ten studies were included in the review. The relationship between self-concept and academic performance was consistent and confirmed in nine of the ten papers.

The Relationship

Poor academic performance in national examinations in Kenya like in most countries has been an issue of concern. Poor academic performance has been attributed to school environmental factors with individual psychological factors receiving little attention yet this may contribute towards poor students’ academic performance. In addition to this, most of the studies that have explored psychological factors have been done in developed countries hence leaving a gap locally. The purpose of the study was therefore to examine if self-efficacy and motivation predicts academic performance and if so, to what extent. Academic performance was the outcome variable while the predictor variables was motivation and self-efficacy. The objectives of the study were to examine the relationship between motivation and academic performance, establish the relationship between self-efficacy and academic performance, to determine the relative predictive weights of motivation and self-efficacy on academic performance and lastly to test for gender differences in academic motivation and self-efficacy. Self-determination theory by Ryan and Deci and Social Learning Theory by Bandura guided the study. Data was collected through use of questionnaires which also gave students biographical information. The researcher employed ex post facto design and involved 193 study participants. Out of 31 public secondary schools in Kitui County, 25% of the schools were sampled for this study. Stratified random sampling procedure was used to select the study sample, 8 schools were selected to participate in the study, and 24 students were randomly selected from each secondary school. A pilot study was carried out on a random sample of 40 students from a public school which was not part of the study sample but of similar characteristics as sampled schools. The academic motivation and academic self-efficacy scales were adapted to measure academic motivation and self-efficacy. Students’ academic performance was measured by use of examination records which was obtained from the schools. Pearson product moment correlation coefficient was used to test relationships between variables while multiple regression analysis tests were used to obtain the relative predictive weights of independent variable on outcome variable and t-test for predictor variables for gender. Data was analyzed by use of descriptive and quantitative statistics. This research may be of importance to the educators as they may understand how these psychological predictors may impact on their students. Secondly, the teachers may be able to gauge their students’ motivation and self-efficacy which may help them in setting realistic targets for performance. Understanding motivation and self-efficacy may enable schools reach operational efficiency as teachers will be in a position to address students according to their study requirements. In view of the findings, it can be inferred that academic motivation, self-efficacy and academic performance are statistically dependent as the p-value in the ANOVA model was .000 which is less than 0.05, the alpha level of significance for academic and self-efficacy and academic performance (R (192) =0.367.   The study recommended that all stakeholders in education should work together in creating conducive environments for development of academic motivation and self-efficacy, among students and appropriate intervention programmes should be developed in schools, particularly targeting girls in order to help reduce the gender differences which were found to exist with regard to students’ academic motivation and self-efficacy learning.
