Using Past Performance, Proxy Efficacy, and Academic Self‐Efficacy to Predict College Performance

Abstract

This study examined the ability of prior academic performance, proxy efficacy, and academic self‐efficacy to predict college academic performance. Participants (N = 202) completed a modified version of the Teacher Collective Efficacy scale ( Goddard, 2001 ), the Academic Self‐Efficacy scale ( Elias & Loomis, 2000 ), and a demographic questionnaire. Prior performance was predictive of both academic self‐efficacy beliefs and college performance. Hierarchical regression analysis indicates that academic self‐efficacy beliefs explain a significant amount of unique variance beyond past performance in predicting college performance. Proxy efficacy did serve as a predictor of student academic self‐efficacy, but did not serve as a predictor of college performance. Implications for instructors, as well as for future research, are discussed.
