Resumen

Introducción: Existe un gran cuerpo de investigación que muestra que la autoeficacia es un predictor crucial del rendimiento estudiantil. Basado en este marco, este estudio tiene como objetivo investigar la correlación entre la autoeficacia general (GSE) y la autoeficacia social (SSE) de los estudiantes y su rendimiento académico, así como la relación entre la GSE y la SSE con la edad y el género. Metodología: El enfoque fue cuantitativo, descriptivo y transversal. La población objetivo fueron todos los estudiantes matriculados durante el año académico 2021/2022 en una institución de educación superior en Portugal. Resultados: Los resultados indican que los estudiantes con un alto nivel de GSE obtienen un mejor rendimiento que aquellos con menor GSE, y que el nivel de GSE depende de la edad y el género. No obstante, no se identificó ninguna correlación entre la SSE y el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes. Discusión: A partir de los resultados, fue posible corroborar la siguiente hipótesis del estudio: los estudiantes con un alto nivel de GSE rinden mejor que aquellos con menor GSE, y el nivel de GSE y SSE depende de la edad y el género. Sin embargo, no se apoyó la hipótesis de que los estudiantes con un alto nivel de SSE rinden mejor que aquellos con menor SSE. Conclusiones: Esta investigación podría apoyar estrategias para promover la autoeficacia en los estudiantes con el objetivo de mejorar su rendimiento académico.
