Akadeemilise enesetõhususe skaala psühhomeetriliste omaduste hindamine

Abstract

The purpose of the present study is to evaluate psychometric properties of academic self-efficacy scale. Previous studies have found that acaedemic self-efficacy is multidimensional construct, so I would like to examine if the factors have common figures with characteristics. As the result of factor analysis I found three different dimensions, of which two it is possible to associate with self-efficacy directly and one factor associates indirectly. As I compared academic self-efficacy with criterion variable, it was found that criterions are more associated with two factors (effort and knowledge), and less associated with one factor (perseverance). I also found that scale needs additional research concerning characteristics of emotional quality, also many questions has to be reformulated.
