Abstract :
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of life skills training on self-regulation and self-efficacy of Tehran students in 1397. The method used in this study was applied in terms of purpose and in terms of data collection, a quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttest design with control group and random sampling. The statistical population consisted of all fmale secondary school students who were randomly selected. A sample of 24 students in two experimental groups (12 people) and control (12 people) were considered as the sample size. The experimental group received 8 life skills training sessions, and the control group did not receive any treatment.. In order to collect information, two self-regulation questionnaires (Pintrich et al., 1991) and self-efficacy questionnaire (Shirer et al., 1982) were used. To assess the reliability of the questionnaire, Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used and the coefficient for each questionnaire was higher than 0.7. Content validity was also used to assess the validity of the questionnaire, which was approved by the relevant experts. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software in two sections: descriptive and inferential (covariance analysis). Findings showed that life skills training increased self-regulation of students, Based on the results of the findings, life skills training increased self-efficacy among students. Therefore, it seems that life skills training can promote self-regulation of students and provide effective techniques to increase self-efficacy.
