Self-Efficacy, Academic Motivation, and Career Aspiration among Selected General Academic Strand Students from Private Senior High Schools in Imus City

The study examined how self-efficacy, academic motivation, and career aspirations relate among General Academic Strand students in four private senior high schools in Imus, Cavite. Using surveys with 122 students, the researchers found that students had moderate self-efficacy, high academic motivation, and strong career aspirations. Significant correlations emerged especially between self-efficacy and career aspirations, and between academic motivation and achievement aspirations. Based on these findings, the researchers developed the "Ignite Your Potential" program, a four-module initiative designed to boost self-efficacy, academic motivation, and career readiness.
