Student confidence and academic belief are strong predictors of whether someone stays in higher education. But for many students, particularly those with additional learning needs, that confidence has rarely had the chance to develop.
In this Genio webinar, we share the findings from a new 12-week independent efficacy study on academic self-efficacy (a student's belief in their own ability to succeed academically) and what happened when students used Genio's AI learning tools. Here's what we'll cover:
- Understand what academic self-efficacy is, why it matters, and how it connects to student retention and outcomes in higher education.
- Discover the key findings from a 12-week independent study involving nearly 500 students, including why 70% of users saw measurable improvements in their confidence scores.
- Explore how students with additional learning needs showed significantly greater gains in self-efficacy when they received the tool through a supported, onboarded pathway.
- Learn how reducing study anxiety before lectures leads to deeper cognitive engagement, better note-taking, and stronger study habits.
- Consider how institutions that offer equitable access to AI learning tools, rather than limiting them to declared needs, may better support undisclosed learning needs across their student population.
