Our study aims to evaluate the relationship between self-concept of a group of students in online context and their academic achievement. Data were collected from  \n63 students of both genders, with average age of 42 years old, selected from the first years of their undergraduate studies. We analyzed their performance in academic course specifies. An adapted questionnaire was used to measure self-efficacy (α=.908).  \nThe data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.  \nThe Pearson correlation coefficient was used to see the relationship between self-efficacy and academic performance. The analysis of the data indicated that students’ level of self-efficacy is high (average=45) and a significant relationship exists between selfefficacy and academic achievement (r=0.286, at 0.05 level).  \nIntroduction  \nThe concept of self-efficacy is related to the belief that everyone has to evaluate their abilities to perform a given task successfully. This concept has a strong influence on the approach to the task, the persistence to accomplish the same, as well as the level of effort. There are several studies that show a correlation between the level of self-efficacy and academic results. In an online learning system that requires students’ greater autonomy, as well as a higher level of persistence and effort in the learning tasks. To be aware and know the degree of self-efficacy of students seems particularly relevant.  \nThe Adult Learner and Online Learning Context  \nAccording to Merriam & Brockett (2007) when we are talking about\"adults\" and \"education\" is necessary to distinguish two concepts - adult education and adult learning. According to these authors adult learning is acogntive process internal to the learner; ... So while learning can occur both incidentally and in planned educational activities, it is only the planned activities that we call adult education (p.6)  \n􀀍Assistant Professor, Aberta University, Portugal.  \n[https://doi.org/10.30958/aje.1-3-4](https://doi.org/10.30958/aje.1-3-4) doi=10.30958/aje.1-3-4  \nMany of the learners who resort to distance learning, in general, are no longer youths and they have their jobs and their families. Therefore, they have to coordinate different areas of life which influence each other.  \nThe reasons that lead them to embrace a project in distance learning are quite varied. Some learners bet in getting a higher education degree, in order to achieve a better job, while others only want to increase their culture. If in amore traditional distance learning can talk in greater isolation of students, with the introduction of information and communication technologies, the creation of online contexts such as learning support system, this situation began to reverse itself. The creation of common spaces-the virtual classroom-the use of synchronous and asynchronous communication tools enables learners and teachers a new management of learning situations. The online contexts allow greater flexibility and diversity of formats, interactions and answers to the needs of those who resorted to it. The virtual environment is seen as a new framework with features and elements of its own. The idea of time and space takes on a new perspective because it allows gathering people at various and deferred time and spaces. Allows for constant updating and network thinking, where the non-linearity of communication is seen in different ways, individually or multi-directional.  \nAs already mentioned, the public that attends to virtual classes is typical adult. The different changes that occur at different levels, make learning not only occurs in a given period of time, it is increasingly required to the subject a constant learning","cbCait6aMpsSpR7m","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCait6aMpsSpR7m","pdf",718545,"English","# Introduction\n# The Adult Learner and Online Learning Context\n## Andragogy and Adult Learning Assumptions","[{\"question\":\"What does the study examine about adult learners?\",\"answer\":\"It examines the relationship between adult learners’ academic self-efficacy and their actual academic performance in an online learning context.\"},{\"question\":\"How was self-efficacy measured and how many participants were included?\",\"answer\":\"Self-efficacy was measured with an adapted questionnaire, and data came from 63 students with an average age of 42.\"},{\"question\":\"What statistical method was used to test the relationship?\",\"answer\":\"The study used descriptive and inferential statistics, including the Pearson correlation coefficient.\"}]","The Relationship between Self-Efficacy and Academic Achievement in Adults’ Learners - Research paper | PDF",1792075132,25]
