In asynchronous online video-based learning, learners experience various affective states, which may make them disengaged and negatively influence learning outcomes. This study aimed to examine the effect of the utility value (UV) intervention to help learners emotionally and behaviorally engage in online learning. The UV intervention includes…

This study investigated the effect of teacher academic support, teacher-student relationship, and teacher achievement pressure on maths class engagement via maths self-efficacy. This study examined the relationships among these variables through four structural equation models and identified the model with the best fit. Data of 6,927 students from…

Numerous empirical studies confirm the role of self-efficacy in the foreign/second language (L2) learning context. Despite this, few studies have explored the construct of L2 English self-efficacy (L2 self-efficacy) from a longitudinal perspective. This study investigates the developmental features of self-efficacy in English L2 learning by…
