However, this new model can influence students’ learning behavior and lead to changes in their approach to learning. Based on online intelligent learning, we investigated how the academic self-efficacy of nursing students affects their engagement with learning and explored the role of academic attribution as a mediator. Five hundred fifty-three nursing college students from Hebei and Hunan provinces in China participated in the online questionnaire. The results revealed that effort plays a mediating role in the relationship between academic self-efficacy and learning engagement.
