The Impact of Academic Self-efficacy, E-learning Adoption and Academic Motivation on Self-rated Academic Performance of University Students

Abstract

The primary objective of this research was to examine the perception of e-learning among university students, in relation to their skills, learning behaviors, and their levels of academic self-efficacy and motivation under an e-learning environment, and its impact on their academic performance. A sample of 200 undergraduate students from a university of education participated in the study. Utilizing a regression model, it was found that students are more at ease and inclined to learn in an e-learning environment, which improves their comprehension of e-learning, self-efficacy, and motivation for academic performance. The results are significant as they demonstrate the impact of students' academic motivations, self-efficacy and their understanding of e-learning towards academic performance. The study suggests that for students to perform academically in an e-learning environment, they must possess strong and sharp minds and be able to acquire digital skills. The outcomes of this research can be used to guide the counseling of students, instructors, and directors to enhance the effective implementation of e-learning.
