Characteristics of the Relationship Between Academic Performance and Self-Confidence Among Students in the Humanities and Technical Fields in Modern Educational Environments

Abstract

This article explores the relationship between students' academic performance and self-confidence. Self-confidence helps individuals demonstrate their knowledge, skills and abilities and express themselves adequately and correctly. Confident individuals are more successful at realizing their potential. The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is an interaction between the self-confidence and academic performance of students studying in the fields of the humanities and technical sciences. The study was conducted among students in the technical and humanitarian fields at Baku State University. During the research, the self-confidence scale and the academic performance scale were used. The research showed that if p > 0.05, we can conclude that the results are normally distributed. Moreover, when p < 0.05, the dependency between the variables is significant, and if it is greater than this value, the dependency is insignificant. According to the results of the study, the significance level is < 0.001, meaning it is less than 0.05. The research demonstrated that regardless of whether the field is technical or humanitarian, there is a significant correlation between self-confidence and academic achievement, and this correlation is mutual.
