MARTINS, Luciênia Libania Pinheiro; COIMBRA, Susana; FONTAINE, Anne Marie y BARRERA, Sylvia Domingos. Predictors of academic self-efficacy in portuguese and brazilian youngsters attending professional education. Rev. SPAGESP [online]. 2018, vol.19, n.2, pp.6-22. ISSN 1677-2970.
In this study, we explore the predictors of academic self-efficacy in professional education students in Portugal and Brazil, considering as possible predictors sociodemographic variables, external and internal protection. The study involved 2783 students, with averages age of 17,02 (Portugal) and 17,96 (Brazil), who answered self-report questionnaires concerning the studied variables. Through regression analysis intercultural differences were observed: variables related to external protection, as a general support and of teachers, play a more important role in predicting the self-efficacy of Portuguese youth, while internal resources were the most important predictors of self-efficacy in the case of Brazilian youth, specifically self-efficacy for adult roles and the perception of skills and difficulties.
