Self-efficacy in first-year university students: a descriptive study Alvarez-Huerta, Paula Larrea, Inaki Vitoria Gallastegi, Jose Ramon Muela Aparicio, Alexander Self-efficacy University Students Gender Creativity Entrepreneurship 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. 2020-10-28T15:25:30Z 2020-10-28T15:25:30Z 2019-06-25 http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_c94f 2603-5871 https://katalogoa.mondragon.edu/janium-bin/janium_login_opac.pl?find&ficha_no=153062 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11984/1868 eng Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ © The authors Universitat Politècnica de València
