CRAFTING CONFIDENCE: UNRAVELING THE INFLUENCE OF SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS' WRITING TENDENCIES AND SELF-EFFICACY ON WRITING ATTITUDES THROUGH STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELING
Abstract
This study employs structural equation modeling (SEM) to investigate the intricate relationships among secondary school students' writing tendencies, self-efficacy, and writing attitudes. By unraveling the complex interplay between these factors, the research aims to provide a deeper understanding of the dynamics influencing students' attitudes toward writing. Quantitative data, collected through surveys, forms the basis for SEM analysis, offering a comprehensive exploration of how students' belief in their writing capabilities and inherent writing inclinations collectively shape their overall attitudes towards the writing process.
