|February 12, 2019
Summary
Academic self-efficacy (ASE) is crucial for online academic performance. This review synthesizes existing research on the ASE-online performance link, highlighting areas for future study in digital learning environments.
Area of Science:
- Educational Psychology
- Online Learning
Background:
- Online learning is expanding to support diverse learner needs.
- Academic self-efficacy (ASE) is recognized as a key factor influencing academic achievement.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review existing research on the relationship between academic self-efficacy and online academic performance.
- To identify future research directions in online learning environments.
Main Methods:
- Focused narrative review of previous findings.
- Analysis of studies examining the link between ASE and academic performance in online settings.
Main Results:
- Limited findings currently exist for a systematic meta-analysis on ASE and online academic performance.
- Existing studies suggest a relationship, but more research is needed.
Conclusions:
- Further investigation is required to fully understand the impact of ASE on online academic success.
- Future research should explore similarities and differences between general and online learning environments regarding ASE.

In statistics, several tools are used to interpret the data. Measures of central tendency represent the characteristics of the data, such as mean, median, and mode. Additionally, measures of variance like standard deviation and range are used to find the spread of data from the mean. Relative standing measures the distance between data locations. Commonly used measures of relative standings are percentile, z score, and quartiles.

Data are individual items of information obtained from a population or sample. Data may be classified as qualitative (categorical), quantitative continuous, or quantitative discrete. Because it is not practical to measure the entire population in a study, researchers use samples to represent the population. A random sample is a representative group from the population chosen by using a method that gives each individual in the population an equal chance of being included in the sample. Random...

Self-efficacy is the belief in one's capacity to organize and execute actions necessary to manage prospective situations. This belief significantly influences how individuals approach goals, tasks, and challenges across different domains of life.Psychological and Educational ImpactsIndividuals with strong self-efficacy are more resilient in the face of difficulties. They are more likely to adopt effective problem-solving strategies, persist through obstacles, and regulate emotions such as...

2.6K
Avoidance learning and learned helplessness are critical concepts in understanding behavioral responses to negative stimuli.
Avoidance learning occurs when an organism learns that a specific behavior can prevent an unpleasant outcome. For example, a student who receives a bad grade may start studying harder to avoid future poor grades. This behavior persists even when the negative outcome is no longer present. Avoidance learning is powerful because it maintains behavior in the absence of the...

Associative learning is a fundamental concept in behavioral psychology, wherein a connection is established between two stimuli or events, leading to a learned response. This process is critical in understanding how behaviors are acquired and modified. Conditioning, the mechanism through which associations are formed, can be divided into two main types: classical conditioning and operant conditioning, each elucidating different aspects of associative learning.

E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a...
