College Teaching Self-Efficacy Scale: Instrument Development and Validation

• In Event: Scale Validation

Abstract

The aim of this investigation was to create a new measure to assess individuals’ self-efficacy to successfully enact specific pedagogical practices in a college classroom. We refer to the new measure as the College Teaching Self-Efficacy Scale. In addition to describing the need for a new measure of college teaching self-efficacy and documenting the development of the scale, we explored the psychometric properties of the scale. Implications of the study and directions for future research are discussed.
