The Extent of self-efficacy of The students at English Department (University of Diyala) in their abilities in translation

Abstract

        Self–efficacy is a construct that has been found to influence individuals' performance and coping abilities, enhancing motivation and facilitating goal–setting, decision–making, and persistence in the face of difficulty, among other factors. The construct of self–efficacy has received increasing attention and has been proved to have a significant positive relation with translation. Consequently, students who have high self–efficacy in translation skills are expected to accomplish translation skills successfully, on the other hand, those who show low self–efficacy are expected to fail even before they start translation.
