The Impact of Perceived Social Support on College Students' Learning Engagement——the Mediating Role of Academic self-efficacy

Abstract

In recent years, there have been numerous news exposing the status quo of college students' study. The problems of college students' addiction to games, lack of spirit and idle time have attracted great attention from the education circle. How to improve students' learning attitude and increase their learning engagement have become an important topic of theoretical and practical research. Based on social cognitive theory, this study explores the influence of perceived social support on learning engagement and the mediating role of academic self-efficacy. Through the questionnaire survey of 319 college students, it is found that the three dimensions of college students' perceived social support have positive effects on their learning engagement. Academic self-efficacy plays a completely mediating role in the impact of perceived social support on learning engagement. The research results can provide theoretical support for colleges and universities to effectively enhance the learning input of college students by combining family and social forces.
