Abstract
MARIN-VELAZCO, Sofía; RAMOS-LEON, Daniela; VENTURA-LEON, José and REYES-BOSSIO, Mario. School repetition: Relationship between self-efficacy and time perspective in peruvian adolescents in Lima Metropolitan Area. Educare [online]. 2022, vol.26, n.2, pp.137-149. ISSN 1409-4258. http://dx.doi.org/10.15359/ree.26-2.8.
Introduction.
School repetition is a perceived school phenomenon, but it has not been addressed in Latin America; this is evidenced in the low scientific production of the population concerning the variables self-efficacy and temporal perspective. In this sense, the present research aimed to examine the relationship between self-efficacy and temporal perspective in repeater students of secondary level.
Method.
The General Self-Efficacy Scale instrument, using its Peruvian version (Grimaldo Muchotrigo, 2005), and Temporary Perspective Inventory (Díaz-Morales, 2006) were applied. The sample consisted of 157 school students who repeated the school year at the primary or secondary level.
Results.
The results indicate a moderate and positive relationship between self-efficacy and the future dimension (r = 0.48), positive past (r = 0.32) and hedonistic present (r = 0.30), and a low and positive relationship between self-efficacy and negative past (r = 0.22) and fatalistic present (r = 0.27).
Discussion.
It is concluded that there is a moderate relationship between self-efficacy and prospects that should be examined in future studies, understanding that the population of repeater students is a group that has not yet been studied. In fact, these results have strong practical implications because they show the need to explore psychological variables in a population with grade repetition and to carry out approaches from the psycho-pedagogical departments of the educational centers.
