The Impacts of Academic Self-Efficacy on Academic Outcomes: The Mediating effect of Student Engagement

Open access
Examines the influence of ASE on student engagement and academic outcome and detect if student engagement as a whole mediates the relationship between ASE and academic outcome. Survey is conducted in a university; students are the subjects, sample of 169 is taken. The scales belong to the past studies and are reliable. Multiple regression analysis was used to check the mediation and for testing hypothesis. Results shows that ASE influences both student engagement and academic outcome positively and significantly and student engagement influences academic outcome positively and significantly too. It means ASE influences academic outcomes directly as well as indirectly through student engagement. This study also has some limitations. Student engagement was taken as a whole concept; its sub parts are not considered in this study. This type of study has not been done in this area so research was lacking and the gap was still existed.
