Abstract:
This study aimed to re-examine the role of self-efficacy in encouraging student academic motivation. Academic motivation is needed for academic achievements and learning satisfaction. One factor that can encourage academic motivation in students is self-efficacy. Theoretical gaps related to the positive and negative influence of self-efficacy factors on academic motivation and testing the role of self-efficacy on student academic motivation encouraged this research to be held. The study used structural equation modeling covariance analysis. This study used a modification of the academic motivation scale (AMS-C 28) College (CEGEP) the self-efficacy for learning students’ form (SELF-A) that has been valid and reliable. The results stated that self-efficacy does play a role in increasing student academic motivation.
