Thursday, May 15, 2003 Self-Efficacy & Motivation Effects on Online Psychology Student Retention by Robert Irizarry Online classrooms are considered the future wave of education. Increase availability of computer technology and acceptance of adult online professional degrees have fostered this attitude. Online education requires learners to be self-directed, intrinsically motivated, and have practical knowledge of computer technology. Influenced by perception of individual ability, student’s motivation, self-beliefs, and teaching practices can account for the difference among students completing an online degree. Bandura (2001) explains the effects of beliefs as reciprocally influencing the person and the environment in a triadic relationship. Can self-efficacy beliefs and levels of motivation account for online psychology student retention? The author will discuss the implications of social cognitive theory concept of self-efficacy, its relationship to motivation, teaching practices, and online graduate psychology student retention.
