Self-efficacy is defined as the belief of individuals in their own capabilities. Academic self-efficacy has been shown to play a crucial role in student success, it can be fostered through educational practices that enable learners to acquire skills while receiving appropriate feedback. A self-efficacy model for an intelligent learning environment is proposed to strengthen the self-efficacy of students and thus improve learning outcomes. The model predicts the self-efficacy of learners and provides pedagogical actions designed to promote it based on pedagogical models. The student’s self-efficacy model is grounded in their interaction with the learning environment, while the tutor’s self-efficacy model relies on presenting vicarious experiences, mastery experiences, and positive feedback. We hope to achieve empirical evidence on the impact of self-efficacy in adaptive learning systems, and insights about fostering beliefs of students in their own abilities in order to improve motivation, persistence, and academic achievement.
