Abstract

The study aimed at identifying the differences between secondary school students in terms of academic self-efficacy, delays, academic excellence and sex, to achieve this; the Academic Self-Efficacy Scale was applied by the researchers to 600 pupils from secondary education, using the comparative descriptive method. The results of the study revealed that there are differences between late and outstanding secondary pupils in terms of academic self-efficacy and its dimensions. And there are no differences between students of late secondary education with regard to academic selfefficacy and its dimensions, due to the variable of sex. Also there are differences between high school students who have excelled in academic studies, in terms of academic self-efficacy, except for the dimension of confidence in academic performance.
