extracurricular activities, self-efficacy, EcuadorAbstract
The study analyzed the difference in self-efficacy of students who benefit from extracurricular activities in a public school in the city of Quito. The expectation of self-efficacy of 25 students who attended extracurricular activities was compared with that of 85 students who did not have this stimulus. For the measurement of self-efficacy, an adapted version for Ecuador of the Carrasco and Del Barrio instrument was used. The self-efficacy of the students who did not attend the center of extracurricular activities had an average of 111.47, compared to an average of 135.88 of the students who did attend the center of extracurricular activities. This difference was statistically significant with Student's t-test values of t = 4.11 and p <0.001. This means that, in the case of the school studied, students who attend after-school activities show a self-efficacy that is statistically better than those who do not, and therefore this type of activities should be promoted among children and adolescents.
