- Abstract
The study aims to examine factors influencing children’s (age 8-12) academic performance. In the article, the relationship between classroom environment and academic performance is investigated; the study self-efficacy is studied as a mediating factor. To this end, a sample of 120 children aged between 8 and 12 completed three questionnaires--My Class Inventory (MCI), Academic self-efficacy Questionnaire, and Academic Performance Rating Scale (APRS). MCI consists of three scales, including cohesiveness, satisfaction and competitiveness in measuring the classroom environment.
To analyze data, SPSS Au and descriptive statistical analysis are used. The result shows that the learning environment has a significant negative correlation with learning efficacy and academic performance. Learning efficacy is significantly negatively correlated with cohesiveness and satisfaction but not significantly correlated with competition. Academic performance is negatively correlated with cooperation and competition but not with satisfaction. Academic self-efficacy plays an important intermediary relationship between the classroom environment (cohesiveness) and academic performance. Overall, the study highlights the relationship between classroom environment and academic performance, as well as self-efficacy as mediating factor.
