A SCALE DEVELOPMENT STUDY ON SELF-EFFICACY BELIEFS THROUGH ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION
Öz
This study presented the development of a reliable and valid scale, The Scale of Self- Efficacy Belief toward Environmental Education, for use in Turkish context. The reliability coefficient of this scale is 0.76 and it explains 61.80% of total variance. The scale has four sub-scales (“Academic Competence Perception”, “Responsibility Perception”, “Instructive Competence Perception”, and “Guidance Perception”). Confirmatory factor analysis results support that the scale consisted of four subscales. The grade point average from subscales in “Guidance Perception” and “Academic Efficacy Perception” of the prospective elementary teachers (N:328) who have taken a course in Environmental Science are relatively higher than those who still have not taken this course (P<0.05).
