Relationship between Self-Efficacy, Emotional Intelligence, and Parental Social Support with Learning Motivation of University Students in Distance Learning during the Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract

Distance learning has an impact on decreasing university students’ motivation to learn. Meanwhile, learning motivation is fundamental in the distance learning process. Learning motivation correlates with internal factors such as self-efficacy and emotional intelligence and external factors such as parental social support. This study aimed to find alternative factors that support learning motivation and examine the relationship between self-efficacy, emotional intelligence, and parental social support with learning motivation in university students carrying out distance learning during the COVID-9 pandemic. The study used quantitative research with the correlational research type involving undergraduate students at the Muhammadiyah University of Surakarta with a total of 408 students. The Academic Motivation Scale-Short version (AMS) was used to measure learning motivation, the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) was used to measure self-efficacy, the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Short Form (TEIQUE-SF) was used to measure emotional intelligence, and the parental social support scale compiled by Fitrotin was used to measure parental social support. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression tests. The results of the study found that self-efficacy, emotional intelligence, and parental social support had a relationship with learning motivation. This was indicated by the positive value of Beta=27.284, p-value of 0.000 (p <0.005), the regression (F value) of 36.569, the correlation (R)= 0.467, and the effective contribution to learning motivation of 21.8%. Programs to increase self-efficacy, emotional intelligence, and parental social support are important to increase motivation.

Pengembangan Bahan Ajar Ipa Berbasis E-Book Sebagai Media Pembelajaran Kelas v Sekolah Dasar

“…Sejalan dengan penelitian Wardani et al (2021) diperoleh penilaian skor dengan presentase sebesar >81% sehingga media interaktif berbasis e-book pada pembelajaran IPA tergolong kriteria sangat layak. Dengan kategori sangat layak terhadap bahan ajar berbasis e-book akan mengakibatkan semakin mudahnya kegiatan belajar siswa, dalam hal ini dapat memudahkan guru dalam menyampaikan materi dan siswa dalam memahami materi sehingga hasil belajar siswa juga akan semakin baik (Andriani et al, 2022;Muthmainnah & Rohmah, 2022).…”

Relationship between emotional intelligence and learning motivation among college students during the COVID-19 pandemic: A serial mediation model

“…Self-efficacy may make it easier for college students to experience a sense of accomplishment in their studies and motivate their willingness to pursue better academic performance ( Dogan, 2015 ), which may have a positive impact on their motivation to learn. Previous research has found a correlation between self-efficacy and both emotional intelligence and learning motivation ( Andriani et al, 2022 ). Self-efficacy and learning motivation may also be closely linked, although whether self-efficacy is a mediating variable in the relationship between emotional intelligence and learning motivation remains unclear.…”

The mediating role of emotional intelligence between self-efficacy and resilience in Chinese secondary vocational students

“…According to Bandura’s social cognitive theory, self-efficacy is a subjective self-evaluation and belief derived from an individual’s own experiences ( 7 ), that is, the result of an individual’s evaluation of whether they can successfully complete a certain achievement behavior, which could be divided into three dimensions: magnitude, strength, and generality ( 8 ); After the self-assessment, an individual tends to set appropriate goals based on the evaluation results and determine the plan to achieve them ( 9 ). Previous studies have evidenced that adolescents with high self-efficacy are self-confident and less susceptible to mental disorders when they encounter setbacks, and show higher academic performance ( 10 , 11 ).…”

“…Andriani et al. showed that self-efficacy has a positive relationship with learning motivation ( 8 ). Strengthening self-efficacy can also improve the learning outcomes of vocational education students ( 12 ).…”
