Test anxiety negatively affects efficiency in academic tasks, leading to decreased academic performance. Test anxiety in students can be generated or fostered by both individual and contextual, school-related factors. Teachers can play an important role in reducing test anxiety in students by adopting appropriate pedagogical practices and creating a positive, supportive, student-centered learning environment. The present work takes a structural modeling approach to explore the influence of intrinsic motivation, learning engagement, and academic self-efficacy on test anxiety. The results showed that while high levels of academic self-efficacy contribute to reduced test anxiety, learning engagement has a positive influence on test anxiety which is due to students’ expectations created by their involvement in the learning activities. </style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">892-903</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Santi, E.

High confidence in personal competencies and in the ability to successfully accomplish a particular task or a certain goal, acts as a stimulating factor of mental resources (cognitive, affective, motivational, volitional), contributing to students̕ success. In an educational context, the development of self-efficacy can be both a means of facilitating high achievement, but also an end in itself, a prospective goal of education. Perceived self-efficacy plays a major role in understanding how students perceive and experience academic courses. This research aims to identify the extent to which perceived self-efficacy with the course influences students' satisfaction with the class as a prerequisite for learning and academic performance. A structural model was developed and tested on two samples of students enrolled in the Psychoeducational Training Program, to prepare for the teaching career. The research results show that there is a significant relationship between perceived self-efficacy with the course and satisfaction with the class. Understanding this relationship, several educational implications can be formulated for the development of students' academic self-efficacy; by recognizing the main indicators of low self-efficacy, teachers can implement specific strategies and interventions to optimize students' self-confidence and performance.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">687-701</style></section></record></records></xml>
