"A literature review was completed on self-efficacy related to academic success. Due to limited recent literature on this topic, the review ranged from 1986-2014 to include some of the landmark work of Albert Bandura, who developed the Theory of Self-Efficacy. This collaborative research project answered three questions. First, does student self-efficacy, either general or college self-efficacy, predict NCLEX-RN readiness as compared with an academic point system used by a small Midwestern university? Secondly, is there a relationship between general self-efficacy and college self-efficacy? Lastly, will either general or college self-efficacy increase over time?"--leaf 3.
