Studentsr Self-Efficacy on Biology Lesson of Senior High Schools in Bengkulu City, Indonesia

Abstract

Self-efficacy is the student's belief in the ability to perform necessary tasks or actions to achieve a particular outcome. Self-efficacy can influence students' feelings, ways of thinking, motivations, academic achievements, and social behaviors. The higher self-efficacy that students have, the higher the achievement and ability students may get. The purpose of this research was to know the self-efficacy of State Senior High School students in Bengkulu City, Indonesia toward Biology Lesson. Measurement of self-efficacy refers to 3 aspects, namely magnitude, strength, and generality. The method used was survey method. The samples of this research were 160 students of class X of academic year 2017/2018 taken from Public High School (SMAN) 1, Public High School (SMAN) 2, Public High School (SMAN) 4, Public High School (SMAN) 5 and Public High School (SMAN) 6. The results of the study showed that the average self-efficacy of students are 58.60 on magnitude aspect with the medium category, 56.85 in strength aspect with the medium category, and 48.70 in generality aspect with the low category. Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to improve the learning process especially by using models of learning that can improve students' self-efficacy in Biology Lessons.

Online Quantitative Literacy-Based Biology Learning towards Students' Self-Efficacy

“…This shows that online discussion is one of the best ways for students to face problems in online quantitative literacy-based plant anatomy course learning. This data shows the same result with a similar statement: "I try to communicate with friends to solve problems in the online quantitative-based plant anatomy course" [23]. Discussion is one of the best ways to exchange ideas with other people.…”

“…This aspect shows that students show good confidence in completing the assignment in online quantitative literacy-based biology learning. Another similar result also states that the strength aspect has a high score in an online learning environment [22,23]. Even though learning is held virtually, students believe they can finish the assignments because online learning makes it easier to find sources that can help them complete assignments.…”

The Effects of Integrated Problem-Based Learning, Predict, Observe, Explain on Problem-Solving Skills and Self-Efficacy

“…As a result of being used to be dependent much on the teachers in learning, the students obtained low scores in "generality." Overall , it can be concluded that students' self-efficacy needs to be enhanced (Fitriani, Zubaidah, Susilo , & Al Muhdhar, 2018). These self-efficacy issues are not only found in senior high schools but also junior high schools (Suryadi & Santoso, 2017) and even universities (Ancel, 2016).…”

Pengukuran Keterampilan Proses Sains dan Self-Efficacy Mahasiswa pada Matakuliah Mikrobiologi

“…Mahasiswa pesimis ketika mengerjakan soal yang sulit. Hasil penelitian yang sama juga ditemukan oleh Fitriani et al, (2017) bahwa self-efficacy siswa pada aspek generality berada kategori rendah. Hal ini disebabkan oleh kurangnya penguasaan tugas dan materi yang disediakan, siswa hanya belajar jika ada ujian Biologi saja serta motivasi yang rendah dalam mengatur waktu belajar.…”
