Abstract

Academic self-efficacy is an individual's subjective assessment of his or her ability and achievement in learning. This paper reviews the current status of academic self-efficacy research. By reviewing the relevant literature at home and abroad, we summarize the definition, structure, measurement tools and research results of academic self-efficacy, and analyze the different characteristics brought about by different ages and genders. In addition, this paper explores the relationship between academic self-efficacy and related concepts such as academic motivation, academic performance, smartphone addiction, academic procrastination, and self-esteem, and discusses the cultivation strategies to improve the level of academic self-efficacy in students. Finally, we summarize the findings and limitations of the study and suggest directions for future research. This review will provide a scientific basis for educational practice and policy development to promote individual academic motivation and achievement levels.
