Abstract
Self-efficacy is
one’s belief in their capabilities to perform any given task and achieve
certain goals. This research assessed self-efficacy levels in secondary school
students in Sikkim and whether self-efficacy differed significantly based on
gender, school management, and locale. Self-efficacy was assessed among 380 students
using quantitative measures. Separate descriptive and independent samples
t-tests were run to analyze the data. The results showed that almost half the
students were below average in self-efficacy, and a smaller proportion was
classified as high or above average. There were no significant differences in
self-efficacy scores of male and female students, government and private school
students, or rural and urban students. The results highlight that low
self-efficacy is common across the different demographic groups, which
underscores the need for self-efficacy boosting, confidence building, and
motivational interventions in the student’s education.
