The sample was contains (20) students with learning difficulties. These students divided into experimental and control groups equally.  Academic Self-efficacy Scale was administrated for both groups which developed by the author.
            The scale was admitted as a pre-test for both groups. Then the training programme was implemented for the experimental group and finally the scale re-administrated for both groups. By using Mann-Whitney Test, the result shows that there are significant differences between the main scores of the experimental and control groups in academic self-efficacy in favour of the experimental group. Moreover, by using Wilcoxon Test, it appears that there are significant differences between the main scores of the experimental group in pre-test and post-test in favour of post-test for academic self-efficacy. Furthermore, there is no significant difference between the main scores of the experimental group in post-test and the follow-up test on the scale and that after two months from implementing the post-test.
