Description
Summary:<p>The purpose of this study is to look into the students music performance self-efficacy</p><p>who performed in the music festivals in Malay Gamelan and Wind Orchestra categories.</p><p>All the four sources of self-efficacy in Banduras social cognitive theory which are 1)</p><p>mastery experiences; 2) vicarious experiences; 3) verbal or social persuasion; and 4)</p><p>physiological state were investigated. A survey method using Music Performance Self-</p><p>Efficacy Scale (MPSES) by Zelenak (2011) was used. The data collected were then</p><p>administered using descriptive analysis of mean to identify the highest to the lowest on</p><p>the sources of self-efficacy. 150 Malaysian secondary school music students aged 14-</p><p>17 participated and completed the 30-item questionnaire online. The results shown that</p><p>among the four sources of self-efficacy; mastery experiences had the highest mean (M</p><p>= 4.23 on a 5-point scale). Whilst, the physiological state had the least mean (M = 3.85).</p><p>The findings indicated that mastery experiences had the biggest impacts on students</p><p>self-efficacy. The results of this study will provide music teachers and students with an</p><p>understanding of maintaining and improving students self-efficacy in music</p><p>performance. The study implicates that both the teachers and students can identify and</p><p>focus more on sources of self-efficacy that the students lack off to help them increase</p><p>their level of self-efficacy.</p>
