In the analysis of the data, descriptive frequency (n), percentage (%), arithmetic mean (x̄) and standard deviation (sd) were used to determine the personal characteristics of the participants. The "Cronbach alpha coefficient" method was used for internal consistency in determining the level of reliability values of the study. In the study, kurtosis and skewness values of the data set were examined and it was determined that the data showed a normal distribution, and parametric tests (t-Test, Anova) were used in statistical analysis. As a result of the research; It was determined that the most important one of the sub-dimensions of the self-efficacy scale was the not give up dimension. It has been found that the students' self-efficacy levels are at a high level. There were statistically significant differences between students' self-efficacy levels according to the variables of department, family monthly income level, and still active sports with license.
