Abstract
This study investigates self-efficacy perceptions among Level 1 Sports students and Level 1 Physical Education (P.E.) students. Consistent with previous research (Bandura, 1997), we hypothesised that self-efficacy would be associated with course selection, and that efficacy expectations would be associated with performance accomplishments. An outcome of the present study is to aid module development in P.E. and coaching modules, and thereby enhance the student experience by improving the quality of provision. Further, we suggest that findings from the study could also help identify competencies that incoming students should seek to acquire, and therefore, could help develop guidelines to appropriately market the different degree pathways.
