Ugwuanyi, Christian S.; Okeke, Chinedu I. O.; Ageda, Terpase A. – Cypriot Journal of Educational Sciences, 2020
Psychological factors like motivation and self-efficacy have been found to have significant predictive powers on learners' achievement in physics but literature is silent on how gender influences their predictive powers. Based on this premise, the researchers sought the predictive powers of motivation and self-efficacy on physics learners'…
