Abstract EN

The researches aim to reveal the correlational relationship between cognitive method and personal efficiency for a sample of students from both the education and the sciences faculties.

The research also reveals the differences between cognitive method efficiency and personal efficiency according to the research variables (sex-faculty- subject’s number among his/her siblings).

The research sample consisted of 287 fourth-year students of class-teacher department in the education faculty in Damascus University, and 324 fourth year students of the sciences faculty at Damascus University.

Blaeburn, Jones and Lewin’s scale of cognitive method and Jerusalem and Schwarzer’s scale of personal efficiency were used to reach the following results: 1) There is a correlational relationship with a statistical significance at (0.05) level between cognitive style and personal efficiency.

2) There are no differences of statistical significance at (0.05) level between the students' grades rates on the cognitive style and personal efficiency scales according to the sex and faculty variables.

3) There are differences with a statistical significance at (0.05) level between the students' grades rates on the cognitive style and personal efficiency scales according to the subject’s number among his/her siblings variable (first, middle, last).

There are no differences with a statistical significance at (0.05) level between the students' grades rates on the personal efficiency scale according to the subject’s number among his/her siblings (first, middle, last).
