Abstract:
The main aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the level of self-efficacy and growth mindset (DV) in the distance learning amidst Covid-19 (IV) among Grade 12 HumSS students at Marcelo H. del Pilar National High School. The academic motivation and performance of the students were affected because of the paradigm shift of face-to-face classes to distance learning. To achieve this aim, the researchers utilized a descriptive correlational method and used questionnaires for the primary data gathering tool. The first questionnaire uses a 5-point Likert scale type and is highly reliable, as indicated by a Cronbach alpha of .218. Meanwhile, the researchers also used a 15-item self-made questionnaire to describe the effects of distance learning amidst Covid-19 respondents. This questionnaire has a 5-point Likert scale type and will be subjected to expert validation. The findings reveal that the relationship of Growth Mindset and Self-Efficacy on Distance Learning amidst Covid-19 affects the academic performance and achievements of the HumSS students despite their hard work and wise decision making, evident by the value of R which is -0.1027, a negative correlation, the relationship between the two variables is only weak. This means that the effects of distance learning amidst Covid-19 significantly influence the HumSS student's growth mindset and self-efficacy, where most of the learners found themselves to have major and extreme challenges and adjustments in performing and doing their schoolworks in the midst of new normal.
