Abstract

This study surveyed 548 students from higher vocational colleges in Chongqing, with 523 valid questionnaires collected for data analysis. The main findings are as follows: (1) The levels of professional identity, academic self-efficacy, and academic achievement among higher vocational students are generally above average. (2) Female students scored significantly higher than male students in professional identity, academic self-efficacy, and academic achievement. There is a declining trend in professional identity, academic self-efficacy, and academic achievement as students advance in grade, with first-year students scoring the highest and third-year students the lowest. Only children show significantly higher professional identity than non-only children. (3) Professional identity directly and positively predicts academic self-efficacy and academic achievement, while academic self-efficacy positively predicts academic achievement.
