Abstract

Abstract: Education, for many specialties, especially for doctors, is a continuing process. It becomes not only a reflection of socio-cultural norms, personal values, but also plays an important role in unlocking personal potential, creates a need for effective learning, self-education, self-development.Self-efficacy means a sense of competence and efficiency, as well as the confidence to realize their own abilities and rebuild behavior that corresponds to a specific task or situation. People with a high level of self-efficacy are more interested in education and vocational training. Learning becomes a part of their lives and provides them with a major source of personal growth.In the literature, many scholars have studied this issue by studying the educational effectiveness of students of different specialties, teachers, adults of different specialties, however, there is little work on the characteristics of health professionals.Purpose of the article: To study the level of academic self-efficacy among doctors in the specialty "General Practice-Family Medicine". The study was attended by 51 trainee physicians in "General Practice - Family Medicine", who were trained in cycles of thematic improvement. The study of the peculiarities of academic self-efficacy of doctors was conducted using the questionnaire "Academic self-efficacy of adults".The results of the study showed that most doctors are aware of the meaning of their training. When evaluating the results of the component "Confidence in one's own learning ability", no doctor had a high score. These results show that most students are not confident in their own learning ability, in the ability to improve professional skills, which provides an opportunity to conduct psychological training to strengthen faith in the possibility of learning at any age. Evaluation of the data of the scale "Motivational-targeted orientation in learning" showed that most doctors had an adequate ability to set goals for their own development and perseverance in achieving them. The study of the component "Prognostic-reflexive ability to learn" found that most physicians-students can make predictions in learning, analyze and evaluate internal and external opportunities for successful achievement of the educational goal. Assessment on the scale of personal responsibility for learning and development showed that most doctors are ready to take responsibility for learning outcomes and personal development. The overall rate of learning self-efficacy was high at 18%, mid-level 76% and low-level 6% of trainee physicians.Conclusions: Thus, the results suggest that most general practitioners in family medicine have an average level of general self-efficacy (76%), feel the need to constantly review their competence, focusing on self-improvement and self-development, but are afraid of other assessments of these changes. This indicates a significant contingent of possible influence in order to increase the number of doctors with a high level of academic self-efficacy, which will improveprofessional and personal self-realization, will promote competitiveness in today's labor market.
