The current study aimed to investigate the effect of self-efficacy on students’ achievement in science. The case of secondary school science students’ is examined to achieve this task. The study is based on Bandura's Theory of Self-Efficacy, which divides Academic, Social and Emotional self-efficacy in three categories. The Questionnaire ‘Self-efficacy Questionnaire for Children (SEQ-C) developed by (Muris, 2001) was adapted in the present study to quantify secondary school students’ and was administered to 811 students. The achievements of students in science subjects governed by their academic, social and emotional self-efficacy were statistically examined to meet the research objectives. Findings revealed that secondary school students have a stronger academic and social self-efficacy. The need to assimilate content for developing emotional self-efficacy among students is highlighted. The study also discovered the significant impacts of parents’ job status and the qualifications on children’s self-efficacy.

Self-Efficacy Relationship on Science Achievement amongst National Secondary School StudentsJurnal Pengukuran Psikologi dan Pendidikan Indonesia (JP3I)
The Effects of Student’s Attitudes and Self-Efficacy on Science AchievementOne of the critical subjects in school that needs to be assessed is a science subject. Without a science subject, students cannot observe and understand a phenomenon on earth. However, results from an international study such as Trends International in Mathematics and Science (TIMSS), students in Indonesia performed poorly compared to students from another country. Furthermore, science is one of the essential education for children as it included in the STEM Education (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). From some empirical evidence, student’s attitude and self-efficacy (beliefs about their ability and skill) were found to be dominant predictors of student’s achievement, not excluded, science achievement. However, most of the research analyses the data under conventional regression analysis. Instead of under the structural modelling, and so the results can be considered carefully. This research will analyze a science achievement of Indonesian cohort, and the predictor...

This study investigates whether there is a meaningful difference in elementary school pupils’ self-efficacy of Science and Technology and its sub-dimensions regarding variables such as gender, grade level, and the level of parents’ education, reading scientific books and watching scientific documentaries. With this aim, in this study “Personal Information Form” and “Science and Technology Lesson Self-Efficacy Scale” have been used. The sample of this study consists of 705 pupils. As a result of the study, it has been concluded that the elementary school pupils’ self-efficacy of Science and Technology and its sub-dimension...
This study examined if students’ general self-concept, science self-concept, self-efficacy, science self-efficacy, self-esteem, anxiety and science anxiety can be considered as predictors for science performance among lower secondaryschool students. The participants in the study were 680 lower secondaryschool students, (317 male and 363 female, in the age 14 years old) at Tehran and Shahriar City, the province of Tehran, Iran. Five valid and reliable instruments were used to assess Self-concept Attribute Attitude Scale, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory, General Self-Efficacy questionnaire and Science Self-Efficacy questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, correlation matrix of constructs and multiple regression analysis was used to analyses the data. The result demonstrated that general self-concept; science self-concept can be influence on science performance. But, self-efficacy, science self-efficacy, self-esteem, anxiety and science anxiety cannot be influence on science performance among 8th grade Iranian students in 2010/2011 academic year.

Self-efficacy, Study Habits and Teaching Strategies and Its Influence on Student Science Performance: A Cross-Sectional Study2019 •
The focus of this study was to determine the influence of self-efficacy, study habits, and teaching strategies to student performance in Science of the junior high school students. The study utilized the descriptive research design examining the relationship of self-efficacy, study habits, and teaching strategies to science performance across grade levels. The results revealed that the overall science performance of the 323 sample respondents from Grades 7 to 10 is satisfactory. Varied teaching strategies in teaching science were experienced about half of the lessons by the students. There was significant differences in student's performance in science and teaching strategies experienced among grade levels while no significant difference was found in the students' study habits and self-efficacy. The overall rating on the study habits of the students was moderately good, and among the three variables, only self-efficacy could significantly influence the academic performance in science of the Junior High School students. It is recommended that an in-depth study to qualitatively determine the relationship of variables studied in this research be done.
