The Relationship between Self-Efficacy and Learning Style among Agricultural Students

This study investigated the influence of learning style on the self-efficacy of students enrolling in the College of Agriculture. The research population was senior students enrolling in the College of Agriculture at Razi University (N=200). A sample of 130 students was drawn out of the population of senior students by stratified random sampling. The sample size was determined using Krejcie and Morganʹs table of sample sizes. The Group Embedded Figures Test and the General Self-Efficacy Scale were used to gather data on studentsʹ learning style and self-efficacy. The results showed that students had a field dependent learning style, and their self-efficacy was lower than moderate. In addition, there was a significant positive relationship between studentsʹ learning style and self-efficacy. Moreover, there was a significant difference between female and male students regarding learning styles and self-efficacy. Nevertheless, there was not a significant difference among self-efficacy of students at different majors in the College of Agriculture.
