“… Bolaños-Medina (2014) examined self-efficacy in its association with translatology, sociology, and cognition, finding that self-efficacy is valuable within translation processes for the purpose of managing ambiguity, documentation activities, translation process studies, and comprehending source languages. Mashhady et al (2015) found self-efficacy was important for predicting note-taking inclinations among undergraduate translation students, an activity they regarded as a personal strategy to cope with challenges of interpretation.…”

“…For example, these conditions may function differently depending on the type of assignment within a translation course ( Haro-Soler, 2019 ). As such, researchers conclude that self-efficacy is important for tolerating ambiguity, achieving success in process-oriented studies, and comprehending advanced source language reading comprehension ( Bolaños-Medina, 2014 ; Mashhady et al, 2015 ; Bolaños-Medina and Núñez, 2018 ).…”

“…Although the concept of self-efficacy has been the subject of much psychological research dating back to the 1970’s, it has only recently been used in the domain of translation studies. Bolaños-Medina (2014) and Mashhady et al (2015) were among the first to incorporate it into such research.…”

“… Linnenbrink and Pintrich (2003) posit that self-efficacy plays a large role within the domains of commitment, effort, and behavior, wherein students lacking sufficient self-confidence are less likely to put in effort and more likely to abandon a task without finishing it. Additionally, those with low self-confidence in such areas may also internalize a belief that they do not have the necessary skills and characteristics to achieve mastery through their own actions, known as “learned helplessness” ( Linnenbrink and Pintrich, 2003 ; Mashhady et al, 2015 ). Researchers have studied the marker of general self-efficacy, as it may be used as a universal construct ( Schwarzer and Jerusalem, 1995 ; Scholz et al, 2002 ).…”

“…The literature on self-efficacy and material achievement in translation studies is however very brief. Mashhady et al (2015) examined self-efficacy in terms of predicting note-taking inclinations among undergraduate translation students, including at both the junior and senior levels, in the University of Zabol, Iran. The author found a positive correlation between GSE scores and note-taking tendencies.…”

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, academic institutions have faced the challenge of understanding the social-psychological features that produce better academic performance among translation students in an online learning environment. Although self-efficacy is widely studied in a variety of teaching and learning models, few studies have examined self-efficacy in regard to translation students. This empirical study aims to examine the roles of general self-efficacy and computer self-efficacy in terms of the academic achievement and computer use of translation students during the COVID-19 pandemic. The participants included 83 undergraduate translation students at the English Language Department of Umm Al-Qura University, Saudi Arabia. They completed the General Self-Efficacy Scale and Computer Self-Efficacy Scale questionnaires. The results found self-efficacy scores were a significant predictor of overall GPA scores, highly predictive of computer self-efficacy, and also predicted an increased typing frequency and computer usage. This study suggests that translation students with greater levels of self-efficacy will be more likely to possess social-psychological features that align with the independent, self-directed nature of online learning environments.

Background As nursing education embraces e-learning as a vital component of its pedagogical approach, understanding the interplay between students’ readiness for E-learning and their academic self-efficacy becomes imperative in nurturing successful learning outcomes amidst evolving educational paradigms. Purpose This study aimed to explore the relationship between e-learning readiness, academic self-efficacy, and the academic achievement of nursing students within the dynamic educational environment. Design This study employed a cross-sectional design. Methods A total of 208 nursing students were recruited through convenience sampling at the end of the second semester in 2022. The evaluation included the utilization of Grade Point Average, the Online Learning Readiness Scale, and the Academic Self-Efficacy Scale. Findings Previous research has indicated a significant positive correlation between academic achievement and readiness for e-learning, suggesting that higher levels of readiness for e-learning among nursing students lead to improved academic achievement (p ≤ 0.001). Additionally, the findings of the current study revealed a notable positive correlation between academic achievement and academic self-efficacy (p ≤ 0.001). Conclusion This study provides valuable insights into the critical role of academic self-efficacy and e-learning readiness in enhancing academic achievement among nursing students.

Although applied self-efficacy research currently offers some promising avenues of study for Translatology (Jiménez Ivars and Pinazo Calatayud 2001;Atkinson 2012;Bolaños-Medina 2014), no specific translation self-efficacy scale (TSE) with adequate psychometric properties has been devised until now. The purpose of this study is, on the one hand, to develop a scale for assessing translators' self-efficacy following the recommended standard guidelines (Bandura 2006) and a rigorous statistical testing process which will allow us to determine its factor structure and psychometric properties in undergraduate students (n = 74). On the other hand, by doing so, we will also illustrate the process of developing psychometric instruments specifically designed for cognitive, empirical-experimental research in Translatology, in order to promote more efforts in this direction within our discipline. A conceptual analysis of the relevant domain of functioning was performed and a preliminary pool of 52 items was initially suggested, and later refined into 20. After conducting exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, descriptive statistics and distributions of the items were obtained. Next, the internal consistency and the concurrent validity of TSE's five subscales were evaluated. The results indicate that TSE shows adequate levels of reliability and validity, and support its five-factor structure.
