Abstract: The purpose of this study is to find out the impact of using multimedia on students’ academic self-efficacy in Iranian primary schools. The sample of the study consists of 250 students in Tehran, Iran. The Morgan-Jinks Student Sell-Efficacy Scale (MJSES) was completed by 250 students in grade sixwith a random sample (cluster random sampling). The self-efficacy survey data were gathered by Likert scale questionnaire. The difference in students’ self-efficacywas calculated using inferential statistics (t-test); in addition, the relationships between the self-efficacy of two groups of students were investigated. The analysis of the data indicated that students’ level of self-efficacy is medium (3.28) and there is a significant difference in the academic self-efficacy between bothgroups (t-value 3.004) = 0.003, p>0.05). Based on these results, recommendations are made which will improve the quality of our classroom via using multimedia in students’ academic self-efficacy.
