Role Of Parental Education, Selfefficacy And Achievement Motivation In Academic Engagement Among Nigerian Undergraduates

ABSTRACT

The study investigated role of parental education, self-efficacy and achievement

motivation in academic engagement among three hundred and fifty-six (356)

university of Nigeria, Nsukka undergraduates, (male and female). Three

instruments including demographic data were used in the study: The Utrecht Work

Engagement Scale- Students version (UWES- S), the New General Self-Efficacy

Scale (NGSE) and the Nigerian Adaptation of Hermans (1970) Questionnaire

Measure of Achievement Motivation. The result of the Analysis of variance

(ANOVA) did not support the first and second hypotheses which state that parental

education and self-efficacy would not play significant role in academic

engagement. Thus, the findings suggested that parental education and self-efficacy

are implicated in academic engagement of Nigerian undergraduates. The result

supported the third hypothesis indicating that achievement motivation would not

play a significant role in academic engagement. The implications of the study were highlighted and suggestions for future research made.
