Abstract:
Graduate students’ self-efficacy is an important predictive variable for their academic performance. This study, based on self-efficacy theory and integrated with psychological counseling techniques, designs a specialized training model. It provides seven cases with ample experiences from the four sources of self-efficacy: mastery experiences, vicarious experiences, verbal persuasion, and physiological and emotional states. The effectiveness of the training model is tested through semi-structured interviews and physical materials. The results show that after one academic year of training, all seven individuals gained experiences from at least one of the four sources of self-efficacy and thus enhanced their self-efficacy. Moreover, most students also published papers, submitted papers, or participated in competitions and achieved rankings. This evidence indicates that the training model effectively enhances the self-efficacy of graduate students. The paper also summarizes the shortcomings of the current study and provides suggestions for future improvements.
研究生自我效能是其学业表现的重要预测变量。本研究以自我效能理论为依据,结合心理辅导技术设计专门的培养模式,从掌握性经验、替代性经验、言语说服及生理和情绪状态等自我效能的四个来源为七名个案提供充分的经验,并通过半结构化访谈和实物资料检验培养模式的效果。研究结果表明,经历过一个学年的培养后,全部七人都从自我效能的四个来源中的至少一处收获了经验,并因此提升了自我效能,并且大部分学生还进行了论文发表、论文投稿或参与比赛并获得了名次。这些证据说明,该培养模式有效地提升了研究生的自我效能,论文还总结了当前研究存在的不足以及后续改进建议。
