- This study was aimed to investigate the relationship between resilience and self-efficacy and to find the effect of resilience on self-efficacy in 10th-grade chemistry students. It was also aimed to identify the difference in resilience and self-efficacy by gender and academic stream. This quantitative, non experimental, and correlational research emphasized the positivist paradigm with 200 chemistry students (10th grade) of district Lahore, Punjab-Pakistan on the basis of muti-stage sampling technique. The data were collected from individuals using the (Connor & Davidson, 2003) scale for resilience and (Sherer et al., 1982) scale for self efficacy. In addition, the researcher ensured the ethical considerations; and applied the independent sample t-test, linear regression, and Pearson correlation on the individuals’ data. Resilience had a strong positive and significant relationship with self efficacy; the results also indicated the strong significant effect of resilience on students’ self-efficacy. This study will be supportive and helpful for teachers, principals, headteachers, parents and other stakeholders of the social setup. It will provide awareness about resilience and self-efficacy in context of chemistry learning which enhances springing back ability, problem-solving approach, self-confidence, self-awareness, cognitive approach, intellectual level, attentiveness, and attention for students and other stakeholders. In addition, it will minimize the coordination gap among students, teachers, headteachers, and parents. As un-buckled in the literature, few studies on these entitled constructs, especially resilience, impart a massive role in problem-solving in different contexts like resilience and self-efficacy. It is a very smoldering issue in the Pakistani context because only a few researchers try to discuss the construct of resilience concerning self-efficacy. Despite all, this research study opens new horizons for the new researcher on the same constructs at elementary, primary, higher secondary, and higher education levels in the different contexts of public/ private and locale.
