Abstract

This study aims to investigate the level of academic self-efficacy, academic satisfaction, and the relationship between academic self-efficacy and academic satisfaction among Hue University students. 771 students participated in the questionnaires about academic self-efficacy and academic satisfaction. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and One-way ANOVA analysis were performed to answer three research questions. Research results indicate that students have moderate levels of academic self-efficacy and are basically academically satisfied. Academic self-efficacy is positively correlated with academic satisfaction. The results of the study supplement the theoretical and practical basis of academic self-efficacy and academic satisfaction and the relationship between the two factors. The findings of this study can be used as a basis for developing measures to enhance academic satisfaction among university students.
