The study and analysis of the self-efficacy beliefs of students has become an
important line of educational research. The purpose of this study, conducted
at Mondragon University (Spain), is to explore the different perceptions
concerning the creative and entrepreneurial self-efficacy of students on their
entrance to university. Results revealed clear patterns with regards to
discipline and gender. Students commencing their degrees in social sciences
show lower creative and entrepreneurial self-efficacy perceptions than their
peers in other disciplines. Women show lower scores than men across
different disciplines with the exception of women commencing engineering
studies.
Self-efficacy has been related to student motivation and learning and has
been found influential in the choice of the professional career. The high
significance of this construct in education makes the results of this study have
clear implications for the development of learning environments that address
the differences found between gender and disciplines. Directions for future
research are also indicated. [-]
