Adaptation of the Self-Efficacy Scale for Children to Turkish

Abstract

This study aimed to develop a scale to determine the self-efficacy levels of 4th and 5th grade students in primary education. For the whole scale and for each sub-scale, a correlation was detected between the Turkish and English forms at p< .01 level. For each item, a meaningful difference was detected between the scores constituting the low and high groups at p<.01 level. The dependent t-test results were not meaningless for the whole group level, however, the continuity coefficient was found to be r=.762 at a meaningful correlation value, which was p< .01. It was found that the total item and item-remaining values were meaningful at p< .01 level for each item.
