THE CONTRIBUTION OF SOCIO CULTURAL INFLUENCE TO STUDENTS’ SELF EFFICACY

Year 2012, Issue: 33, 14 - 24, 01.12.2012

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate how well socio cultural influence (perceived parents’ achievement goals, and perceived teachers’ achievement goals) predict elementary students’ self efficacy in science. Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire, Perceived Parent Goal Emphases Scale, and Perceived Teacher Goal Emphases Scale were administered to 977 elementary school students. Results demonstrated that the elementary students, who perceive the importance of self improvement, perceive mastery goals, from their parents and teachers tend to have high self efficacy in science.

Keywords
