Comparison of emotional self-efficacy, self-regulation learning strategies and motivational beliefs in privileged and non-privileged students

The main goal of this study is to compare emotional self-efficacy, self-regulation learning strategies and motivational beliefs in the students. The design of this study was a causal-comparative study. The statistical population in this study included all female secondary school students in the 3rd district of Tehran. Among the statistical population of this study, 120 people were selected through a multistage cluster random sampling method. Multivariate analysis of variance was used to analyze the research data. The results showed that there is a significant difference between emotional self-efficacy, self-regulated learning strategies (cognitive and metacognitive) and motivational beliefs (self-efficacy, internal evaluation and test anxiety) in excellent and non-excellent students (P <0.01). In the field of the three studied variables, superiority with students is excellent. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is a significant difference between these two groups in terms of emotional self-efficacy, self-regulatory learning strategies and motivational beliefs. Therefore, providing appropriate conditions for the development of emotional self-efficacy and motivational beliefs and teaching self-regulated learning strategies can provide more opportunities for students to progress and learn.
