Students’ Self-Efficacy in Grammar Class at English Department of Satya Wacana

Abstract

This study was carried out to describe students' self-efficacy in grammar classes. This study attempted to answer the research question: “What are the students’ self-efficacy in grammar class?”. The participants of this research were 77 students from batch 2018 of English Education Program of the FLA of Universitas Kristen Satya Wacana. They were asked to respond to 20 questions related to students’ self-efficacy in grammar class. The data analysis shows that the first-year English department students had good self-efficacy and showed positive response to the grammar class. They believed about their own ability. However, they still lack confidence when they compare their ability in grammar with others. Self-efficacy can help students in believing their own abilities in learning English, especially grammar. The finding of this study suggests that self-efficacy can help them to achieve goals.
