أ/ صباح السيد سعد إبراهيم

The objective of the research was to uncover the interrelationship between academic self-efficacy and executive functions. To determine the extent of differentiation or lack of differentiation between these two variables, the basic study sample consisted of (300) students from the fourth, fifth and sixth grades at the primary school of Omar Bin Abdul Aziz Primary School In the academic year 2016/2016, between the ages of 9-12 years with an average age of 9.51 years, a standard deviation of 1, 032 years, 105 males, 195) were female, and the study tools were the measure of academic self-efficacy (Prepared by: Jinks & Morgan, 1999). And by using the general analysis of the basic components and the orthogonal rotation using the SPSS package for the responses of the students on the self-academic efficiency scale and their teachers on the executive function scale, the results showed that all the correlation coefficients are at 0, And that the general analysis resulted in two factors where the dimensions of academic self-efficacy differed from the "expectation-value" of the dimensions of the executive functions, "primacy-planning-control-emotional control" Maiz, in the sense of differentiation of self-efficacy and academic dimensions, and the dimensions of executive functions, despite the existence of a statistical function links between them.
