The Effect of Self Efficacy on Students' Divergent Thinking Ability in Islamic Education Subjects at YLPI Perhentian Marpoyan Junior High School
Keywords:
Self-efficacy, Divergent, ThinkingAbstract
This study aims to explore the influence of self-efficacy on students' divergent thinking skills in Islamic Religious Education subjects at SMP YLPI Perhentian Marpoyan. Self-efficacy, which is an individual's belief in their ability to achieve goals, plays an important role in the learning process and can influence students' actions in facing educational challenges. Divergent thinking, on the other hand, is the ability to generate creative ideas and alternative solutions, which are essential in the increasingly complex context of modern education. The results of the study showed that there was a significant influence between self-efficacy and students' divergent thinking, with a significance value of 0.000 indicating that the alternative hypothesis was accepted. The level of influence of self-efficacy on students' divergent thinking was recorded at 18.5%, indicating that although the influence was relatively low, there was still a significant contribution in improving students' divergent thinking skills. It can be predicted that if self-efficacy is increased, it will contribute to improving students' divergent thinking by 0.362 or 36.2%. This study concludes that increasing students' self-efficacy can contribute to the development of different thinking skills. Therefore, it is suggested that educators focus their efforts on fostering self-efficacy among students, so as to enhance divergent thinking skills that are essential in learning Islamic Religious Education and other subjects. This study provides valuable insights for the development of more effective and relevant educational strategies to the demands of the times.
