Abstract/Summary
The study sought to determine the correlation between academic self-efficacy (ASE), social self-efficacy (SSE), social adjustment (SA), and academic achievement such as grade point average (GPA) of freshman students of De La Salle University (DLSU). Moreover, an attempt was made to find out the best predictor of academic achievement among those foresaid variables. The participants were 104 (69 female and 35 male) freshmen students of De La Salle University. Three instruments were used in this study to gather data: Academic Self-efficacy Scale (ASES), of Illigan (1999) Social Self-efficacy Scale (SSES) of Shiomi(2002) and Bell Adjustment Inventory (BAI). Meanwhile, Grade -Point Average (GPA) was used to measure the academic achievement of the freshmen students of DLSU. The data were analyzed, using regression analysis. There is a significant and positive correlation between academic self-efficacy and academic achievement (GPA). The results of multiple regression analysis showed that academic self-efficacy was the best predictor for academic achievement (GPA) of freshmen students of DLSU. Further studies are recommended to identify other factors along with self-efficacy that might influence student academic achievement. The further researchers could make an attempt to conduct researches in which they may use some other variables in other schools and using a different population.
