Demographic Predictors of Teacher Education Students’ Self-efficacy and Self-regulation in Tarlac Agricultural University, Philippines
Keywords:
parents’ educational attainment, families’ monthly income, extra-curricular interest, self-regulation, Self-efficacyAbstract
With the extent of research studies on strong self-efficacy and self-regulation skills as predictors of
high academic performance, the present study examined the predictors of self-efficacy and selfregulation skills of 81 first year teacher education students in Tarlac Agricultural University,
Philippines. It made use of comparative-predictive design to attain the objectives of the study.
Based on the findings, it can be concluded that extra-curricular interests of the students have
positive significant relationship with self-efficacy and self-regulation while families’ monthly income
has positive significant relationship to self-regulation. Furthermore, extra-curricular interest of
students is a predictor of self-efficacy and self-regulation. Meanwhile, self-regulation of the students
is different in terms of their families’ monthly income and extra-curricular interest. Hence, it is
hereby recommended that the students should be encouraged to build interest and participate in
different extra-curricular activities in the University. Likewise, parents and other members of the
family should strive to increase monthly income. The University and other agencies through different
extension and community outreach activities may help the parents of teacher education students to
find ways for additional income generation as this may affect students’ self-regulation.
