Student Self-Efficacy

 


Assessment name:  STUDENT SELF-EFFICACY SCALE

* Note. This post has been updated to provide an available measure of student self-efficacy.

———-

Scale overview: The student self-efficacy scale is a 10-item measure of self-efficacy. It was developed using data from university nursing students in the United States.

Authors: Melodie Rowbotham and Gerdamarie Schmitz

Response Type: A four-choice rating scale as follows:

1 = not at all true

2 = hardly true

3 = moderately true

4 = exactly true

 Self-efficacy is the perception that a person can act in a way to achieve a desired goal. 

Scale items

There are 10 items. Examples:

I am confident in my ability to learn, even if I am having a bad day.

If I try hard enough, I can obtain the academic goals I desire.

 

Psychometric properties

The authors reported that their sample scores ranged from 25 to 40 with a scale mean of 34.23 (SD = 3.80. Internal consistency was high at alpha = .84.

The authors reported the results of a principal components analysis, which offered some support for a one-dimensional scale.

Notes

The scale was developed on a small sample of young university students. The authors built the scale following the theory developed by Bandura and considered items from a related measure. See their literature review for details.

At the time of this review, the full article with the items was available for downloading as a pdf file.
