The Research On Academic Self-efficacy Of Students In Practical Technical College

The academic self-efficacy on study is the display of the self- efficacy , which has a close relationship with the academic achievement. And it is the major factor in affecting the academic achievement. In fact, the issue has been studied in early times in foreign nations. Besides they pay much attention to the growth of the academic self-efficacy in students. However, we don't have much research on the field at present, much less to study the academic self-efficacy in practical technical colleges. As we see, the education of practical technical colleges is an important part in our senior education, and the students there are our future senior technical talents. Whereas, the practical situation of their level in studying has a long distance with the expectation which shows that they don't study hard; lack of initiative, low in spirits of study and short of the academic self-efficacy etc. So my research based on the students in Practical technical College in Southwest University, Sichuan Foreign Language college, Chongqing Postal University, amounts to 806 college students. By the paper investigate, I want the result in the relation between the academic self-efficacy and the sex, major grade and their origins. The consequence is as follows:1. The general strength of the academic self-efficacy is lower. The academic self-efficacy on study is close to the average 2.5, and the study behavior self-efficacy is a bit higher than 2.5, but the study ability self-efficacy is lower than 2.5.2. There is a big difference in the study ability self-efficacy. Because of the sex, boys lower than girls dramatically, but the general scores and the study behavior self-efficacy don't have much difference in sex.3.The students in different grades can reach the edge of the study ability self-efficacy quite differently, which shows that the edge of Grade 1 is much lower than Grade 3, However, there's no complete difference in the general scores and the study behavior self-efficacy.4. Students in different majors are quite different in the study ability self-efficacy, among which students of literature are much lower than science ones, however, there's no complete difference in the general scores and the study behavior self-efficacy.5. The academic self-efficacy in the interaction between grades and origins differ a lot.First, the study ability self-efficacy, on grades: Grade 1, Students from cities marks is much lower than ones from villages; Grade 3, there is no big difference. On origins: Students in cities: their marks in Grade 1 are much lower than Grade 3. However there's no big difference in villages.The study behavior self-efficacy, on grades: Grade 1,no big difference between city students and village students; Grade 3, the marks of city students are lower than village students; On origins: city students , the marks from Grade 1 are higher than Grade 3, no big difference in counties.At last, on the basis of the research, I insist the Multiple intelligence, which makes students have the joy of success; At the same time, to reduce the chance of the students' failures; enhance the function of models; conduct them to know the reasons of the results, promote their initiative; besides that, it can offer a suitable atmosphere of study. Basing all these, I offer five acceptable educational suggestions to improve the academic self-efficacy in the practical undergraduates, strength their study motives, affect their academic achievement, and train excellent senior practical talents for the most importance.
