The results of the study on the self-efficacy scale, namely 63.5% moderate level, 29.5% low level and 7% high level. Analysis of student self-efficacy is studied based on the dimensions of self-efficacy, namely the magnitude dimension shows students have a high enough level of optimism in conducting lectures and completing tasks given by the lecturer in charge of the course, the strength dimension shows students believe and know the advantages that exist within them so that they are able to carry out all activities in lectures as a form of development and hone their potential, the generality dimension shows students have the ability to solve their problems but some problems may need the help of others in solving them. Students’ self-efficacy in conducting Distance Learning during the covid pandemic is on average still in the moderate category. This means that students already have sufficient self-efficacy but still need to get supportive motivation.
