The influence of self‐efficacy beliefs and prior learning on performance

Abstract: This research examines self-efficacy beliefs and prior learning of accounting students to determine how useful these variables are for predicting academic success in accounting courses. Self-efficacy beliefs are the confidence one has in the ability to perform certain tasks or skills (Bandura, 1997).

“…The contributors of this brief piece study the psychological concept of self-efficacy: what it is, where it comes from, and how it affects achievement (Beatson et al, 2018;Beatson et al, 2019).

“…The present study is based in a university setting, where all students are accepted for tertiary study providing they pass entry-level criteria. The teaching department does not assume prior accounting studies from high school; however, university records indicate approximately half of all accounting students at the university have studied accounting at pre-tertiary level (Beatson et al, 2019). The class chosen for this empirical study is an intermediate-level financial accounting class, in the second year of a three-year degree programme, with a total enrolment of 264 students.…”
