Description

Self-efficacy beliefs are predictive of two components of students' effort: rate of performance and expenditure of energy (Schunk, Hanson, & Cox, 1987). Further, higher rates of self-efficacy have been found to increase academic achievement and a student's efforts to succeed. Different types of homework assistance have been found to affect a student's self-efficacy levels and also impact academic achievement. A survey was completed by 150 undergraduate students aged 18 years and older. I hypothesized that receiving homework assistance as a child would positively affect college students' academic achievement and self-efficacy. Data will be analyzed and results will be discussed.
