• In Event: Roundtable Session 29
  In Roundtable Session: Self-Efficacy, Motivation, Knowledge, and Understanding

Abstract

Teachers are increasingly relying on technology and media, and integration has increased significantly in K-12 classroom instruction. Previous research has explored the impact of technology and media on academic achievement and self-efficacy in co-ed settings and higher education, yet there is minimal investigation at single-gender learning institutions and high school. The purpose of this preliminary research was to ask a sample population of high school female students to rate how the social settings of TAM impact self-efficacy on academic achievement. This research is part of a larger project that intends to track the trends of self-efficacy and academic performance for students in single-gender institutions.
