Implementing a mixed-methods approach to understand students’ self-efficacy: A pilot study
written by
Rachel Henderson and Vashti Sawtelle
Self-efficacy (SE) – the confidence in one's own ability to complete a task – has been shown to be an important predictor of student success in the sciences. Traditionally, SE is measured using pre/post instruction surveys or retrospective interviews. In this study, we present a pilot of a mixed-methods approach to studying SE. This approach combines a fine-grained quantitative measure with close to the event qualitative reflections. The results presented from this initial study include five students who transferred credit from a two-year college into a bachelor's program to study physics or astronomy at a large mid-western research university. We report on the incentive structure of the methodology and threats to the integrity of the data. In general, the findings indicate that our methodology yields interesting results and is ready to scale to a larger study.
