Development of a Self-Efficacy Instrument for First Year Computing Students (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Bhardwaj, J. (2016, June). Development of a Self-Efficacy Instrument for First Year Computing Students. Presented at QAA13th Enhancement Themes conference: Student Transitions, Edinburgh

This study addresses the high non-continuation average for Computer Science of 9.5% amongst young entrants (HESA, 2015). This seems to indicate low resilience during the key transition to first year. The majority of studies characterise low resilie... Read More about Development of a Self-Efficacy Instrument for First Year Computing Students.
