| Abstract | Identifying the contributory factors to academic achievement and prevention of academic failure has always been of crucial importance. The present research was carried out to investigate the relationship between self–efficacy and academic achievement. The statistical population included all the high–school students studying in Arak in the academic year ran from 2012 to 2013, out of which a sample of 430 students (230 females and 200 males) was selected through cluster multi–stage sampling. The research tool included General Self–Efficacy Scale designed by Sherer et al and the overall score degree as an indicator of academic achievement. Data were analyzed using t–test and Pearson correlation coefficient. Results indicated that there exists significant relationship between self–efficacy and academic achievement at 0.99. Moreover, male students were found to exhibit higher self–efficacy as compared to female students. However, female students scored higher on academic achievement as compared to male students. It can be concluded that students' encouragement and support offered by teachers, classmates and significant others enhances the students' self–efficacy. What's more, acquainting them with successful people and introducing them as role models, providing the basis for experiencing success and achieving dominance over conditions can boost their self–efficacy. |
