Experience of self-efficacy learning among vocational secondary school students

Abstract

Self-study and self-efficacy are closely related concepts, and they are in connection even with lifelong learning. To develop real self-esteem in the learning process, it is important to be aware of one's abilities, weaknesses, and other characteristics that influence learning, which reinforces the foundations of learning motivation and lifelong learning. Self-efficacy and modern ICT solutions supporting self-directed learning become a more relevant role in self-learning outside the school context, i.e. in self-taught learning. This article examines self-efficacy in learning through a questionnaire survey for students at technical vocational secondary schools in Budapest (N = 1260) analyzing the answers to some of the self-efficacy statements based on the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ). The results can help develop modern ICT solutions that effectively support learning.
