Abstract

This investigation delves into the prevalent phenomenon of diminished self-efficacy observed among students within the context of their educational trajectory. This decrement in self-efficacy frequently manifests alongside a hesitancy to actively participate in classroom activities. The aim of this study is to ascertain the substantive influence of students’ self-efficacy on their comprehension and mastery of physics concepts among senior high school students in the central region of Aceh. Employing a quantitative descriptive research design, this study adopts the linear regression test method as its analytical framework. The entire population is encompassed in the study, with data collection instruments comprising self-efficacy questionnaires and documentation of physics examination scores. To elucidate the relationship between student self-efficacy and academic execution, a linear regression analysis is conducted, and distinctions in self-efficacy across student subgroups are evaluated using the t-test. The findings derived from the data analysis unequivocally substantiate a significant and discernible influence of self-efficacy on students’ inclination to comprehend physics material. Accordingly, these findings serve as a compelling recommendation for educators to proactively enhance students’ self-efficacy, thereby influencing their problem-solving abilities.
