Abstract

This study investigated the effects of single-source versus multiple-source writing tasks on student performance and self-efficacy beliefs. 57 first-year university students were randomly assigned to either a single-source or multiple-source group. Results showed that the number of sources did not significantly enhance overall writing performance but impacted content generation and self-efficacy beliefs. The multiple-source group demonstrated better content and more source integration attempts, while also exhibiting increased self-efficacy in reading-related abilities.
