dc.description.abstractThis study sought to (a) investigate the differences in the levels of academic self-efficacy of Jamaican students with respect to gender, grade level, and school type; and (b) explore the sub-constructs that are believed to underpin the academic self-efficacy beliefs held by the students. A questionnaire was used to collect data from 269 Grade 7 and Grade 9 students randomly selected from four purposely selected schools located in Kingston, Jamaica. Results showed that 1) female students had significantly greater academic self-efficacy than their male peers; 2) the academic self-efficacy levels of the students declined as they advanced through secondary school; and 3) there were significant differences between the academic self-efficacy of students depending upon the type of school they attendeden_US
