“…This shows that there is a relationship (positive correlation) between self efficacies with the ability to write narratives that fall into the high category. This is in accordance with the research which explains that there is a relationship between writing, self-belief and writing outcomes in college [17]. The results of the analysis yielded all studies of motivational conceptions of performance writing and self-efficacy that have the power to predict writing performance.…”

“…This has been driven from Wallace's (1992) view who "wished to make it clear that a range of interpretations were acceptable but that they would need to be argued through and defended against rival interpretations of the group" (p.70). Consequently, this attitude might improve the self-efficacy of the participants and positively influence their writing performance (Williams & Takaku, 2011;Hashemnejad, Zoghi, & Amini, 2014 Finally, the overall feelings of the participants about the course and their learning was sought. Mostly, they found the course motivating compared to other writing class experiences.…”

“…En esta investigación, se encontraron 5 trabajos del primer grupo: Ramos-Villagrasa (2018), Bruning et al (2013), Schmidt y Alexander (2012), Kavanoz y Yüksel (2016), Martins et al (2017). El resto de las investigaciones aplican un instrumento para estudiar la autoeficacia en relación con otras variables, como, por ejemplo, la percepción de los profesores de sus prácticas docentes (De Smul, 2018), el nivel de conciencia sobre las estrategias de escritura que tienen estudiantes de secundaria (Demir, 2018) y la relación entre la autoeficacia de los estudiantes que se especializan en la enseñanza de inglés como lengua extranjera y su rendimiento en la escritura en hombres y mujeres (Hashemnejad et al, 2014). En esta línea, entonces, la mayoría de las investigaciones tienen como objetivo general evaluar la relación entre autoeficacia y otra variable, mientras que la menor parte de ellas pretenden proponer o validar un instrumento para medir la autoeficacia para la escritura.…”

“…En esta línea, entonces, la mayoría de las investigaciones tienen como objetivo general evaluar la relación entre autoeficacia y otra variable, mientras que la menor parte de ellas pretenden proponer o validar un instrumento para medir la autoeficacia para la escritura. Entre las variables estudiadas, la más frecuente es el sexo de la muestra, cuyo resultado varía entre investigaciones que afirman que las mujeres poseen mayor autoeficacia (Andrade et al, 2009;Sanders-Reio et al, 2014; entre otras) y otras que señalan que no existen diferencias significativas (Hashemnejad et al, 2014;Khojasteh et al, 2016).…”
