Abstract

This chapter outlines a conceptual framework for the relationship between student self-efficacy and sense of belonging in computing education. The proposed framework assumes the relationship as bi-directional given feedback loops mediated by student affective and emotional experiences as well as their beliefs, goals, and motivations. The effects of both dimensions are examined in terms of academic achievement outcomes, interest, and retention, while confounding factors include the mediating roles of the nature and outcomes of learning activities, social support, and individual differences. The authors substantiate these claims based on the review of the learning literature, identify gaps where more work is needed, and raise a significant methodological issue in the current body of literature. Based on the review, they derive recommendations for instructors to create a supportive classroom environment and for investigators to conduct novel research.
