Self-Efficacy and English Learning Motivation among Filipino High School Students

International Social Science Review , 2022

This research was conceptualized to determine the self-efficacy and English learning motivation among Filipino High School Students. This study utilized the quantitative descriptive research design, which according to Johnson (as cited in Lim-Ramos et al., 2020) is a best fit to research with the utilization of simple statistics. The study also utilized an adapted questionnaire by Torres and Alieto (2019), which was patterned originally from Clement and Kruidenier (1983), Clement et al. (1994), and Ely (1986) in an EFL setting. It yielded a Cronbach Alpha of α = .902 for motivation section and self-efficacy section α =.951. The study disclosed that the respondents' self-efficacy results revealed that skills in language learning of the students in the Philippines were receptive. This means that their input skills, namely listening and reading, were more dominant. Furthermore, the results for the English motivation indicate that respondents were instrumentally motivated. This means that students study English because they would be able to land a lucrative job and receive satisfying compensation if they could competently use the language. In addition, the study found that there is a strong relationship between students' self-efficacy and English learning motivation. This suggests that the respondents' motivation in language learning affects their self-efficacy.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STUDENTS' SELF EFFICACY AND THEIR ENGLISH LANGUAGE ACHIEVEMENT

Abstract: Many studies have been carried out on this concept of self efficacy in the academic settings. For example, Schunk (1995) stated that students when engaged in activities are affected by personal (e.g., goal setting, information processing) and situational influences (rewards, feedbacks). These provide students an idea on how well they learn. Self efficacy was enhanced when students perceived they performed well. On the other hand, Bandura, Barbaranelli, Caprara and Pastorelli (1996), reported that parents' academic aspirations for their children, influence the children's academic achievement directly or indirectly by influencing their self efficacy. Based on the theoretical explanation on self efficacy and findings of past studies, it is therefore the aim of this study to find out the relationship between students' self efficacy and their English language achievement. In Malaysia, English is a second language but since 2003, English is the medium of instruction for mathematics and science subjects for year one, form one and form six students. Based on this scenario, it is therefore pertinent to find out whether performance in the English language is largely determined by their perceived English language efficacy. A descriptive-correlational study was conducted on 1,146 students from eight secondary schools in the Petaling district, Selangor. The instruments used to measure self efficacy were the Self Efficacy Scale developed by Bandura (1995) and the Self Efficacy Scale developed by Kim and Park (1997). The findings showed that 51 percent of students had high self efficacy while 48 percent showed low self efficacy. Correlational analysis showed positive correlations between several dimensions of self efficacy that is, academic achievement eficacy (r = 0.48, p = 0.001); other expectancy beliefs (r = 0.34, p = 0.005); and self assertiveness (r = 0.41, p = 0.005) with academic performance in English language. In conclusion, achievement in English language will improve when students have high self efficacy in the language. The implications are discussed in relation to teaching and learning within the school settings.

The researchers of this study aimed to examine the influence of self-efficacy on the English learning motivation of freshmen college students. The study was conducted during the first semester of the school year 2021-2022 among the 144 freshmen college students of San Agustin Institute of Technology. Specifically, the study aimed to: determine the level of self-efficacy and English learning motivation of the respondents, find out whether self-efficacy is significantly correlated with English learning motivation, and examine if self-efficacy predicts the English learning motivation of the respondents. This study adopted a quantitative approach employing non-experimental research design using descriptive-correlational research techniques. An adapted questionnaire from the study of Torres and Alieto (2019) was used as an instrument to gather data from the respondents. Mean, standard deviation, Pearson product-moment correlation analysis, and simple linear regression analysis were used to treat the data. The results showed that the freshmen college students demonstrated a high level of self-efficacy that stemmed from reading manual instructions of gadgets, poems, essays, short stories, and novels in English. Moreover, the respondents demonstrated a very high level of English learning motivation as well. They believed that learning English would be able to help them for their future ventures. Furthermore, the correlation analysis revealed a significant relationship between self-efficacy and English learning motivation. Finally, through regression analysis, the study revealed that the respondents' level of self-efficacy could significantly influence their English learning motivation. In essence, self-efficacy plays a crucial role in learning a second language.
