Abstract

Background and Aims: Educational self-efficacy implies one's belief in his abilities in achieving educational goals and activities, and is influenced by several factors. The purpose of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of teaching self-regulation strategies of motivation and communication skills on academic self-efficacy of female Tabriz talented students.
Materials and Methods: In the current quasi-experimental study with pre-test, post-test, and control groups, a total of 90 female high school third grade students in regions 1 and 4 of Tabriz in 2016-2017 were selected using cluster random sampling and were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The first group received a training course on motivational self-regulation strategies in 10 sessions, the second group received 10 sessions of communication skills training, and the third group (control) continued its regular classroom programs. A self-efficacy questionnaire was used for data collection.
Results: Data analysis, using single-variable covariance, showed that self-regulation of motivation and communication skills had different effects on academic self-efficacy, and self-regulating strategies of motivation were more effective on academic self-efficacy.
Conclusion: According to the results, it seems that planning effective interventions to promote academic self-efficacy is imperative for female students.
