Online Quantitative Literacy-Based Biology Learning towards Students' Self-Efficacy

Quantitative literacy is an important skill for biology students. During COVID-19, students had to adapt to several changes, including shifting from offline to online classes. However, not all biology content can be taught easily, especially online. Therefore, students need self-efficacy abilities. Self-efficacy was important for students to be able to make a plan for their learning. This research aimed to describe students’ self-efficacy to continue their online biology learning during COVID-19, based on their quantitative literacy skills. This study used 20-item questionnaires with four choices of statements. The biology topic chosen was plant anatomy. This research measured the score of 82 first-year college students’ self-efficacy from three aspects - magnitude, strength, and generality. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to measure the mean, the highest, and the lowest students’ self-efficacy scores. The result showed that the average score of students’ self-efficacy was 2.72, which means students’ self-efficacy was in the moderate category. All three aspects were also in the moderate category, with the strength aspect score being the highest at 2.76 and the magnitude aspect score being the lowest at 2.66. Based on the number of participants’ level of self-efficacy, 3% of students were in the high category, 96% were in the moderate category, and 1% were in the low category. The result showed that most of the students in this research have a moderate level of self-efficacy in online biology learning, based on quantitative literacy. This means that most of the students still must develop their self-efficacy skills to learn online quantitative lessons in biology successfully. The results also suggested that it is essential to teach students how to manage their learning behavior through the development of self-efficacy to succeed in online quantitative lessons in biology learning in the future.

THE SELF-EFFICACY OF TEACHERS IN THE PROCESS OF INCLUSION IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLASSES

One of the more important preconditions for successful inclusion is the teachers’ high level of self-efficacy. Therefore, the aim of this pilot study was to determine the self-efficacy of physical education teachers in the process of inclusion of children with physical disabilities, intellectual disabilities, and visual impairment. The study was carried out on a sample of 38 physical education teachers, aged 50.89 ± 10.56 years, working in elementary schools on the territory of the city of Niš. To evaluate self-efficacy, the Serbian version of the Situational-specific Self-efficacy and Inclusion Students with Disabilities in Physical Education questionnaire was used. The results indicated that physical education teachers have moderate levels of self-efficacy (3.70). Based on types of disability, the greatest degree of self-efficacy was noted for intellectual disability (3.77), followed by physical disability (3.71), and visual impairment (3.60). The results of the Friedman test showed that the obtained differences were not statistically significant (p= 0.76). The results of the Mann-Whitney U-test showed that gender (p=0.189) and teaching experience (p=0.970) do not lead to statistically significant differences in the self-efficacy of physical education teachers. This pilot study represents a foundation for future studies, which would include a greater number of respondents. In addition, it is necessary to study other factors which can impact self-efficacy, such as direct teaching experience involving children with disabilities, private acquaintance with children with disabilities, the level of academic education in the field of adaptive physical exercise, and attendance of additional workshops.

Abstract The purpose of this qualitative research is to describe in detail the profile of students' self-efficacy in dealing with discrete mathematics courses. The subjects of this study were 21 students of class TI21A4 Informatics Engineering Study Program, Duta Bangsa University, Surakarta, who were taking a Discrete Mathematics course. The information gathering tool consisted of a self-efficacy questionnaire and a guide for interview sessions. Participants filled out a questionnaire related to self-efficacy. The output of the self-efficacy questionnaire showed that 5% of students showed a very high level of self-efficacy, 39% had a high level of self-efficacy, 33% had a moderate level of self-efficacy, and 23% experienced a low level of self-efficacy. After that, 6 students were selected to be research subjects, consisting of 2 students each with high, medium, and low self-efficacy levels. Students with high and medium self-efficacy in solving Discrete Mathematics questions do not give up easily, while students with low self-efficacy give up easily when solving these problems. Students with high and moderate self-efficacy have been able to learn independently, while students with low self-efficacy have not been able to learn difficult Discrete Mathematics material independently and need guidance from the lecturer. Even so, students with high, medium, and low self-efficacy were able to complete assignments and submit assignments on time. Students with low self-efficacy, their learning efforts are less than optimal for various reasons so that they have not been able to achieve the targeted learning achievements. While students with high and moderate self-efficacy are already optimal with regard to their learning efforts Keywords: self-efficacy; student; discrete mathematics

Patient's learning needs and self-efficacy level after percutaneous coronary intervention: A descriptive study.

Identify and compare learning needs, levels of self-efficacy and their association among inpatients and outpatients of a cardiac care unit with coronary heart disease who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in a Swiss university hospital. After primary PCI, 42% of patients will suffer a recurrent ischemic cardiovascular event. Although adherence to therapeutic regimen contributes to prevent recurrence, patient adherence remains low. To strengthen it, learning needs and self-efficacy must be considered when developing effective therapeutic patient education (TPE). Learning needs and self-efficacy were assessed using the Cardiac Patient Learning Needs Inventory (CPLNI) and the Cardiac Self-Efficacy Scale among inpatients and outpatients. The STROBE checklist for cross-sectional studies was used in reporting this study. Ninety-three patients participated in the study with a participation rate of 73.9%. The CPLNI median total score was significantly higher in inpatients than in outpatients: 4.23 (3.82, 4.64) versus 3.67 (3.33, 4.09), p < .001. In both units, participants declared that the most important need was related to 'anatomy and physiology' of the heart. Despite the high score, the least important need was about 'physical activity' for inpatients and 'miscellaneous information' for outpatients. No statistically significant differences were found among patients from both units regarding their self-efficacy level. This study shows that after PCI, patients have high learning needs and moderate levels of self-efficacy that require addressing. Patient's individual learning needs and self-efficacy level must be assessed prior/after PCI. A tailored TPE that considers individual learning needs and self-efficacy is recommended as a preventative measure to reduce recurrent ischemic cardiovascular events. Nurses can play a key role in this process. For feasibility reasons, patients and public were not involved in the design, conduct, reporting or dissemination plans of this research.

Modeling Students' Self-Efficacy in Mathematics during the Covid-19 Pandemic

&#x0D; Self-efficacy in learning mathematics helps the student to overcome difficulties and challenges in problem-solving during unprecedented times. This article aims to measure the level of students' self-efficacy and its determinants during the COVID-19 pandemic in learning mathematics online. The study considered primary data from 233 students selected in a non-random approach at Visayas State University, Baybay City, Leyte, Philippines through the aid of an online survey. The data were analyzed using some descriptive statistics calculation and regression analysis was used to model the students' self-efficacy and its factors. Results showed that, on average, the students' self-efficacy level is considered "moderate" amidst the pandemic. This means that most of these students are still having mathematical anxiety and experiencing hindrances in achieving good academic performance in mathematics online. The statistical model revealed that the demographic and learning profile of students is not significantly influencing the level of self-efficacy. In addition to that, the mathematics teachers' intervention has shown also an insignificant influence on the students' self-efficacy. In conclusion, students during the pandemic are having difficulty adopting a new type of learning (distant/online) due to their moderate level of self-efficacy. Hence, the study recommends that teachers must make the learning environment exciting and interesting to boost the students' motivation and self-efficacy in doing their mathematics tasks. Furthermore, teachers must give mathematics activities that are suitable and doable for online learning that enhances students' creative thinking.

Analysis of the influence of perceived self-efficacy on organizational performance among pharmaceutical managers: a structural equation study

Abstract Objective To investigate the influence of perceived self-efficacy on organizational performance among operational, product and strategic managers in the pharmaceutical marketing industry. Method A cross-sectional study with a literature-based questionnaire administered to 241 managers proportioned across operational, product and strategic managerial roles using stratified random sampling. Structural equation modeling techniques in the analysis of moment structures software were used to examine causal relations between predictor and outcome variables. Study hypotheses were tested using inferential statistical measures with a P-value of &amp;lt; 0.05. Key findings A large number of respondents were operational sales managers (n = 138, 57.3%), followed by strategic managers (n = 64, 25.6%), and the least was product managers (n = 39, 16.2%). The measurement models of self-efficacy, organizational performance constructs and structural models had acceptable measures of fit. Three first-order constructs were derived from the self-efficacy construct namely: self-adaptability (regression coefficient, β = 0.237, P &amp;lt; 0.025), self-efficiency (β = 0.574, P &amp;lt; 0.001), and self-creativity (β = 0.649, P &amp;lt; 0.003). Structural equation modelling revealed a significant positive effect of perceived self-efficacy on organizational performance (R2 = 0.65, β = 0.651, P &amp;lt; 0.003). Simple plot analysis revealed lower performance scores at a moderate level of self-efficacy with operational sales managers compared to strategic and product managers. Multigroup analysis revealed no confounding effect of gender and type of firm on the hypothesized relationship (P &amp;gt; 0.05). Conclusions This study contributed another dimension to extant research on the relationship between perceived self-efficacy and performance among pharmaceutical managers. The study suggests targeted management training and collaborative learning for managers to improve their level of self-efficacy. Focal and routine training to enhance work-based competencies, professional development and problem-solving skills of pharmaceutical managers are advocated.

The aim was to evaluate nurses' self-efficacy, confidence, and nurse-patient interaction during caring of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). A cross-sectional design with online survey was used with a Self-efficacy scale, Self-confidence scale, and Caring nurse-patient interaction scale: 23-item Version-Nurse (CNPI-23 N). A sample of 120 nurses participated in the current study. The results showed that the participants had a moderate level of self-efficacy, self-confidence and interaction (M = 28.84 (SD = 7.7), M = 47.41 (SD = 9.0), and M = 93.59 (SD = 16.3), respectively). Positive relationships were found between nurse' self-efficacy, self-confidence, and nurse-patient interaction (r = 0.81; P < 0.0001 and 0.79; P < 0.0001, respectively). Significant differences were found in self-efficacy according to years of experience, academic qualifications and position (F = 2.10; P = 0.003; F = 3.60; P = 0.002, and F = 2.60; P =0.007, respectively). Furthermore, the results indicated that there was a significant difference in self-confidence and nurse-patient interaction also. Nurse educators and administrators should develop and implement further strategies, such as continuing education and training, compensatory payment, organizational support, and availability of protective measures to increase their self-efficacy, self-confidence, and interaction with COVID-19 patients.

A multi-center cross-sectional study on midwives' self-efficacy and influencing factors.

Healthcare professionals who lack self-efficacy may fail to cope with stressful situations, which increases job burnout and turnout. Self-efficacy of midwives with high workload may affect the quality of service. However, little is known about midwives' self-efficacy and related factors. This study aimed to examine the level and influencing factors of self-efficacy among midwives, and to assess the relationships between their self-efficacy and job burnout. This was a multi-center cross-sectional study involving 700 midwives from 33 hospitals in China. Data were collected by three self-administered questionnaires, including a socio-demographic questionnaire, General Self-Efficacy Scale and Maslach Burnout Inventory. Pearson correlation was utilized to analyze the association of self-efficacy with job burnout. A multiple linear regression model was performed to identify variables associated with midwives' self-efficacy. The score of self-efficacy among Chinese midwives was 24.34 ± 5.28. The incidence of job burnout was 52.9%. The influencing factors of self-efficacy among midwives were low personal accomplishment, emotional exhaustion, length of service, interest in the midwifery field, marital status and whether they came from a one-child family or not. Chinese midwives had a moderate level of self-efficacy which easily led to job burnout. Also, several personal-related and work-related factors would affect the self-efficacy of midwives. Nursing managers are called on to attach importance to self-efficacy of midwives and provide effective interventions to improve their self-efficacy.
