Self-efficacy and achievement motivation of students at secondary level

The research study reveals that the achievement motivation of students at secondary level depends on their self efficacy. Achievement motivation is an individual’s desire for significant achievement. It is the driving force behind each action. Self-efficacy has a major role in determining the achievement motivation of the learner. The self belief of the students to manage difficult learning situations and the desire to satisfy the needs have a strong impact on the direction of their action. The study also reveals that different learning environment provided by different types of management has a strong influence on the self-efficacy and achievement motivation of the learner. The government school students have low achievement motivation and self-efficacy than aided and private school students.
