  • Dropout is a widespread phenomenon in higher education: About every third student in the OECD countries drops out from studying. Most of them are lost in their first year in higher education. Empirical results suggest that academic self-efficacy is a strong predictor for dropout intentions and study success, operationalized as academic achievement or student satisfaction. While the fact that the more specific academic self-efficacy is assessed, the better the prediction, is widely accepted and accounted for, the dynamics inherent in the nature of this construct are often neglected. This chapter intends not only to add to the current perspectives on academic self-efficacy in an empirical way but also to add with respect to the practical implications. We present an empirical example about trajectories of self-efficacy in a sample of N = 424 freshmen, with three points of measurements within 9 months. Hereby, we show that students highly prone to dropout show a different shape of academic self-efficacy growth curve compared to those not intending to drop their studies. Further, we outline that the trajectories of academic self-efficacy might be even more predictive for several (academic) outcomes than single-shot assessment highlighting the importance of longitudinal assessment. Finally, our findings show practical implications: We question the prevalent perception of academic self-efficacy as a fixed predictor and suggest to apply a developmental perspective. Self-efficacy might be one of the most promising starting points for student support, and the promotion of academic self-efficacy can therefore be seen as a central task for lectures as well as counselors. As a possible practical implementation for monitoring trajectories of academic self-efficacy, we outline the online self-assessment approach. (xsd:string)
