Impact Of Collaborative Learning on Student’s Academic Performance Mediated by Self-Efficacy

ABSTRACT The present research looks at how learners’ cooperatively working together as part of a group impacts their overall results and whether believing that they will succeed (having high self-efficacy) influences this relationship. This investigation into the interrelationships between cooperative learning variables, self-efficacy, and student outcomes utilized quantitative methods (41 surveyed students with structured questionnaires). Using correlation, regression, and mediation analyses; it was determined that cooperative learning was positively related to academic performance, where high levels of belief in oneself positively correlated to higher levels of demonstrating successful academic performance. However, cooperative learning did not significantly associate with having high levels of belief in oneself (self-efficacy); therefore, no evidence was found to support self-efficacy as existing within that particular mediation role. This study results can provide assistance to educators for future practices.
