Research on area of self-efficacy theory is scarce in African context though several scholars propose the need for investigating the practical utility of the theory in other cultural settings aside from Western countries. We have tested the theory of self-efficacy in Ethiopian context and showed how an innovative classroom based strategy (promoting students’ mastery experience, exposing students to role model, persuading students the importance of effort and creating favorable attitude towards a subject) influenced self-efficacy belief and academic achievements of students in applied mathematics II employing explanatory sequential mixed methods design. We found statistically significant difference between the experimental group and the control group on mean academic performance of applied math II (t = 2.75, df = 121, p = .007). The magnitude of the mean difference (MD = 5.77) between the two groups was medium (η 2 = .4978). There was no statistically significant mean difference in the experimental group and the control group on mean score of self-efficacy belief in mathematics (t = .626, df = 85, p = .553) though the experimental group scored higher than the control group. We validated the self-efficacy theory in Ethiopian context and also provided insight how mathematics instructors could use the innovative classroom based strategy. Further study on the applicability and generalization of the intervention package in other contexts is warranted. Published online : 30 November 2016

埃塞俄比亚吉马大学基于课堂的创新策略提高了学生在应用数学中的自我效能和学习成绩

在非洲,关于自我效能感理论领域的研究很少,尽管有几位学者提出需要研究该理论在除西方国家以外的其他文化环境中的实用性。我们已经测试了埃塞俄比亚语境中的自我效能感理论,并展示了基于课堂创新的策略(促进学生的掌握经验,向学生展示榜样,说服学生付出努力的重要性以及对学科建立积极态度)是如何影响自我的。运用解释性顺序混合方法设计的应用数学II学生的效能信念和学业成就。我们发现实验组和对照组之间在应用数学II的平均学业成绩上有统计学差异(t = 2.75,df = 121,p = .007)。两组之间的平均差异(MD = 5.77)大小为中等(η2 = .4978)。尽管实验组的得分高于对照组,但实验组和对照组的自我效能信念的平均得分在统计学上无统计学差异(t = .626,df = 85,p = .553)。 。我们在埃塞俄比亚语境中验证了自我效能感理论,并提供了见解,数学指导老师如何使用基于课堂的创新策略。在其他情况下,有必要对干预措施的适用性和一般性进行进一步研究。在线发布:2016年11月30日 尽管实验组的得分高于对照组,但实验组和对照组的自我效能信念的平均得分在统计学上无统计学差异(t = .626,df = 85,p = .553)。 。我们在埃塞俄比亚语境中验证了自我效能感理论,并提供了见解,数学指导老师如何使用基于课堂的创新策略。在其他情况下,有必要对干预措施的适用性和一般性进行进一步研究。在线发布:2016年11月30日 尽管实验组的得分高于对照组,但实验组和对照组的自我效能信念的平均得分在统计学上无统计学差异(t = .626,df = 85,p = .553)。 。我们在埃塞俄比亚语境中验证了自我效能感理论,并提供了见解,数学指导老师如何使用基于课堂的创新策略。在其他情况下,有必要对干预措施的适用性和一般性进行进一步研究。在线发布:2016年11月30日 我们在埃塞俄比亚语境中验证了自我效能感理论,并提供了见解,数学指导老师如何使用基于课堂的创新策略。在其他情况下,有必要对干预措施的适用性和一般性进行进一步研究。在线发布:2016年11月30日 我们在埃塞俄比亚语境中验证了自我效能感理论,并提供了见解,数学指导老师如何使用基于课堂的创新策略。在其他情况下,有必要对干预措施的适用性和一般性进行进一步研究。在线发布:2016年11月30日
