Abstract

Perceptions of students’ self-efficacy and beliefs about activists and non-activists important in education. Considering the important impact of the activist student’s self-afficacy variables and the self-afficacy of non-activist students, this study seeks to highlight the relationship between EFL student activist and non-activist beliefs and their sense of self-efficacy. The participants were 74 6th semester students from the English education department at SunanAmpel Surabaya State Islamic University. Subjects were asked about their beliefs and self-efficacy as student activists and non-activists. The data collected is analyzed quantitatively. The findings show that activist students have their GPA values better than non-activist students in their English self-efficacy. Self-afficacy student activists hold a strong belief that motivational factors in an organization or UKM have a large role in their learning process. In addition, students’ beliefs about their activity in organizations are influenced by self-efficacy of themselves. It is recommended that teacher and teacher trainers improve student self-efficacy and help students hold true beliefs about activists’ self-afficacy to motivate them. It is hoped that the findings of this study will explain activist and non-activist students and self-efficacy and also provide guidance for teachers to help their students become aware and to evaluate their own beliefs in becoming activist students and a sense of self-efficacy from themselves as they become student.
