Grit, Self-Efficacy, and Study Habits in Mobile Learning Among Physical Therapy Students

Abstract

This study investigated the relationship between grit, self-efficacy, and study habits operationalized through engagement with a mobile learning app among Japanese physical therapy students. The findings revealed that students with more consistent app-based study habits demonstrated significantly higher levels of both grit and self-efficacy. Logistic regression analysis revealed that grit was a stronger positive predictor of consistent app usage than self-efficacy. Furthermore, a positive correlation was observed between consistent app usage and academic test scores. This research significantly contributes by clarifying the relationship between psychological traits and study habits within a mobile learning environment through objective measurement via learning logs.
