Abstract

This study explored the self-efficacy beliefs of students in traditional and modern madrasas at Aama level. Self-efficacy of traditional and modern madrasa students was compared to observe the variation in self-efficacy in their educational context and also determine the usefulness of modernizing tendencies dominating among modern madrasas. The study was quantitative in nature, so a survey design was used to obtain data from the participants. The sample consisted of 300 students of traditional and modern madrasas that were taken purposefully. For quantitative data collection, 28 items measuring the self-efficacy beliefs were prepared, measuring four aspects of self-efficacy belief such as academic, emotional, general and social. To ensure the content validity, experts opinion was obtained. The Cronbach-alpha value was 0.86. The findings of this study described that a significant difference was present in self-efficacy between students from traditional and modern madrasas. It was found that the students from modern madrasas had higher self-efficacy than the students from traditional madrasas. The findings also revealed that different types of madrasa environments had an effect on student self-efficacy, students of modern madrasas having higher in domains of learning, emotional, social, and general self-efficacies than the students of traditional madrasas. It is suggested that the programs of guidance and counselling should be encouraged in madrasas. Teacher training programs should also be encouraged in madrasas. There should be all round development of madrasa students including physical, social and emotional. Government should play its role in contemporary education in all madrasas irrespective of modernism and traditionalism
