Academic literacy and self-efficacy in adult students preparing for tertiary study
Wilson, Ian Robert. - : ResearchSpace@Auckland, 2012
Abstract: Levels of academic literacy and self-efficacy were investigated to find possible relationships to variations in demographic and experiential backgrounds, academic results, and acceptance into future courses. The 212 adults studied were from a diverse range of backgrounds and were enrolled in the largest bridging programme in New Zealand, preparing for tertiary study. Quantitative data assessing reading, writing, and vocabulary skills were compared to quantitative and qualitative data on the self-efficacy beliefs of their academic literacy to participate in the current and future courses, and their readiness for future study. These were examined and triangulated with interview data, and compared to demographic data, academic results, and the outcome of applications to future academic courses. The study measured academic literacy levels in relation to the Learning Progressions published by the Tertiary Education Commission in New Zealand (2008), and to Nation's (1983) Vocabulary Levels Test. Self-efficacy beliefs were reported by participants through questionnaire and interviews using a labelled Likert percentage scale outlined by Bandura (2006). The quantitative data were analysed by descriptive statistics, correlation, and analysis of variance. It was found that participants with comparatively higher academic ability but lower self-efficacy received significantly lower end-of-semester grade score averages than their peers. Lower grade scores were also received when self-efficacy for academic study was substantially different from their actual academic literacy. Adults who had a first language other than English had significantly lower academic literacy measurements yet the highest self-efficacy. Bandura's observation on the importance of self-efficacy beliefs to match academic literacy was supported by this study. A moderate correlation between academic literacy skills and academic results was established. The sources of self-efficacy---previous personal success, observation of significant others, verbal persuasion and encouragement, and an emotional/physiological response to situational pressures---proposed by Bandura (1977, 1986, 1994, 1997), and supported in the social cognitive literature, were established for the adults in this study. However, the self-efficacy measures used did not correlate significantly with academic results or acceptance outcomes. Future research possibilities are indicated.
