Objectives: The purpose of the study is to investigate the relationships between multiple intelligence, academic self-efficacy, satisfaction with major in dental hygiene students. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was filled out by 490 dental hygiene students in Jeonbuk from March to April, 2015. The questionnaire consisted of 119 questions of multiple intelligences, 28 questions of academic self-efficacy, 5 questions of satisfaction with major by Likert 5 scale. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation test, and stepwise multiple regression test using SPSS 18.0 program. Results: The students had the highest score in interpersonal intelligence(3.57) and the lowest in naturalist intelligence(2.66). There was a positive correlation between the multiple intelligences, academic self-efficacy and satisfaction with major(p<0.05). The impact of multiple intelligences on academic self-efficacy was influenced by logical-mathematical intelligence, intrapersonal intelligence, musical intelligence, bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, and linguistic intelligence(p<0.05). The variables that had an impact on multiple intelligences and satisfaction with major were interpersonal intelligence and intrapersonal intelligence(p<0.01). Conclusions: The development of multiple intelligences can enhance the satisfaction with the major, quality of education, academic self-efficacy in the dental hygiene students.

This study examined the relationship of academic failure tolerance, academic self-efficacy and academic achievement of nursing students. The data was obtained from August 27 to September 17. The participants were 198 students in a university in D city. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple regression. A positive correlation was observed between all the variables. The factor that significantly affected academic achievement was academic self-efficacy, which explained 7.5% of the variances. The subdomain of the academic failure tolerance affecting academic achievement was found to be the behavior, which explained 8.0% of variances. The subdomains of academic self-efficacy affecting the academic achievement was the self-regulatory efficacy. This factor explained 15.4% of the variances. This study suggests that it is necessary to enhance the academic failure tolerance and academic self-efficacy for the learning achievement and working performance of nursing students.

This study is designed to find out the effect of communication between parents and adolescents, and their goal orientation on academic self-efficacy, especially among second-year high school students based on all their family and social environments. For such purposes, a variety of data regarding background variables, communication between parents and adolescents, goal orientation, and academic self-efficacy were collected in Seoul and Goyang-si, Gyunggi-do. The major results of this study are as follows: First, the female high-school students showed a higher efficiency than the male ones when it comes to the communication between parents and adolescents. For the goal orientation, the girl students marked higher levels than the male counterparts; speaking of self-regulated efficiency, the former illustrated a much higher level than the latter as well. Second, academic self-efficacy is greatly influenced by goal orientation. The higher mastery and performance-approach goals are, the higher academic self-efficacy is. It has turned out that mastery goals have significant relationship with task difficulty performance, one of the sub-scales of academic self-efficacy. In addition, performance-approach goals proved to be deeply connected with self-regulated efficiency, but performance-avoidance goals were negative predictors of task difficulty performance and self-regulated efficiency. In turn, academic confidence, one of the sub-scales of academic self-efficacy, is believed to be under the influence of mastery goals and communication between fathers and adolescents.

Objectives: This study aimed to confirm the association between self-determination and self-directed learning among Korean nursing students, as well as the mediating effect of academic self-efficacy. Methods: Data from 139 nurse students were surveyed in this descriptive cross-sectional study. They were collected from Oct 1 to 30, 2020, using self-report questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Scheffé test, Pearson's correlation coefficient analysis, and mediated model for PROCESS macro using the SPSS/WIN 24.0. Results: Self-directed learning was positively associated with self-determination (r=.56, p<.001) and academic self-efficacy (r=.63, p<.001). Furthermore, academic self-efficacy had a mediating effect on the relationship between self-determination and self-directed learning (B=0.21, 95% CI=0.12~0.32). Conclusion: The impact of self-determination on the self-directed learning among nursing students was mediated by academic self-efficacy. Therefore, these results provide important data for future self-directed learning in nursing education.

The purpose of this study is to verify the effects of self-respect, academic self-efficacy, and career maturity on student adaptation to college and learning persistence. For this study, a web survey was conducted on the students who were in college of engineering at D college in Seoul. A total of 702 samples were analyzed for this research. The major findings of this study are as follows. First, all variables (self-respect, academic self-efficacy, career maturity) had positive effects on student adaptation to college significantly. Secondly, self-respect and academic self-efficacy had positive effects on learning persistence except career maturity. Thridly, the mediation analyses revealed that the relations between learning persistence and self-respect, academic self-efficacy, and career maturity were partially mediated by student adaptation to college. Finally, student adaptation to college had also positive effects on learning persistence. The results indicate a need to enhance student adaptation to college and design programs that support learning persistence for university students.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of nursing students' self-reflection and insight, and academic selfefficacy on their clinical reasoning competence. Methods: Data were collected from 147 third- and fourth-year nursing students who had more than 6 months of clinical training experience. Clinical reasoning competence, self-reflection and insight, and academic self-efficacy were measured using self-reported questionnaires. Data analysis was conducted with IBM SPSS 25.0 using one-way ANOVA, independent t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis. Results: Clinical reasoning competence was positively correlated with self-reflection and insight (r=.24, p=.003) and academic self-efficacy (r=.30, p<.001). Academic self-efficacy (β=.23, p=.011), dissatisfaction with major (β=-.17, p=.034), and 5~8 case studies (β=-.39, p=.027) were identified as factors influencing clinical reasoning competence (adjusted R²=.15). Conclusion: To improve the clinical reasoning competence of nursing students, it is necessary to develop the academic self-efficacy of complex cases and provide critical inquiries, debriefing tailored to clinical reasoning, and sufficient reflection during clinical and simulation practice.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating effect of academic self-efficacy in the relationship between self-management competency and employment preparation behavior of senior nursing students. The data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 program, frequency analysis, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, and multiple regression. As a result of the study, self-management competency was positively correlated with academic self-efficacy, employment preparation behavior, and academic self-efficacy with employment preparation behavior. Academic self-efficacy showed a partial mediating effect between self-management competency and employment preparation behavior. The higher the level of self-management competency and academic self-efficacy, the higher the level of employment preparation behavior, and the explanatory power (R²) was 34%. Therefore, it suggests that it is important to develop self-management competency and to prepare an integrated strategy that can induce a sense of academic self-efficacy in order to promote the employment preparation behavior of nursing students.
