Relationship between academic self-efficacy and academic persistence amongst college students

Like many people in most parts of our country battle hard to gain an access to all basic things and facilities for a fruitful living, students too strive equally hard to gain access to good education and persist to attain clarity not just about the courses they choose for themselves to study in the present but also about the majority of future endeavours that will help make their course of academic learning more fruitful. The present study was done to assess the relationship between Academic Self-Efficacy and Academic Persistence amongst the students in the age range of 18-25, using standardized measures of Academic Self-Efficacy and The Academic Persistence. The sample was collected from 30 college going students, the findings of the research revealed no correlation between Academic Self-Efficacy and Academic Persistence. The sample collected for the study though showcases a huge impact of the on-going pandemic on not just the daily academic schedules of the individuals but also on the motivation to participate in the related academic activities.
