THE CORRELATED RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ACADEMIC HELP-SEEKING AND ACADEMIC SELF-EFFICACY AMONG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Abstract

The current research seeks to investigate the correlation  between academic assistance-seeking and academic self-efficacy and determine the prevalence of academic assistance-seeking among students at Prince Sultan University as well. Additionally, the research aimed to establish a formula for learning about academic self-efficacy utilizing academic assistance-seeking. The  sample of the study includes 218 participants at Prince Sultan University. The results of the research stated that  the percentage of  the students who demonstrated an increased  level of perceived forms of assistance request (henceforth AR), necessary (adaptive) AR, implemented(maladaptive) help-seeking, and avoidance of help-seeking was 51.4%, 50%, 6.8%, and 5.1%, respectively. Furthermore, the results indicated a considerable positive correlation between necessary assistance-seeking and self-efficacy, while a considerable negative connection was found between implemented AR and academic self-efficacy. However, no statistically significant relationship was found between avoidance of assistance--seeking and academic self-efficacy.
