Entrepreneurial self-efficacy refers to individuals’perceived capabilities to perform entrepreneurial tasks and produce entrepreneurial-relatedoutcomes. It is critical to develop and test the measurement of entrepreneurial self-efficacy withthe engineering student population. Further, entrepreneurship education programs are increasingand play a crucial

self-efficacy with engineering students1 IntroductionIn this research paper, we re-evaluate structural aspects of validity for two instruments, the CurrentStatistics Self-Efficacy (CSSE) scale and the Statistical Reasoning Assessment (SRA) [1, 2]. The CSSE isa self-report measure of statistics self-efficacy while the SRA is a scored and criterion-based assessment ofstatistical reasoning skills and misconceptions. Both instruments were developed by statistics educationresearchers and have been consistently used to measure learning and interventions in collegiate statisticseducation. Our re-evaluation is part of a broader study of the effect of using a reflection-based homeworkgrading system in a biomedical engineering statistics course [3, 4

ability in an engineeringlaboratory. This study uses an established survey to assess the experimental self-efficacy (ESE)of students enrolled in a fourth-year chemical engineering laboratory course at the University ofVirginia. The survey measures ESE using four factors: conceptual understanding, proceduralcomplexity, laboratory hazards, and lack of sufficient resources. Results from the ESE surveysuggest that students had higher confidence in their conceptual understanding and their ability toavoid laboratory hazards. This study also analyzes students’ troubleshooting abilities using anexisting chemical reactor system (a water gas shift reaction). Students were asked to use theexperimental equipment to perform an activity. To succeed, students

The way students perceive the support they receive from this relationship caninfluence their self-efficacy concerning the competences needed to finish their dissertation, thesisor applied project report. Understanding the relationship between the student’s self-efficacytowards their culminating tasks and their perception of their advisor’s support is essential, asfrom a motivational standpoint, it can serve as a closer proxy for degree completion.This research paper presents the development and validation of the Advisor Support and Self-efficacy for Thesis completion (ASSET) survey, which measures two constructs: Thesis Self-efficacy and Advisor Support.

Low self-efficacy has beenlinked to low retention rates in programs, particularly for Students of Color, so a measurement ofsocial capital, as an example, is a way for a program to address issues in retention and alignopportunities for students of color with goals of improving relations and confidence.LimitationsIt is uncertain how students self-defined

ways that make their success more likely [4].In engineering, there are different ways in which self-efficacy is measured. Three categories ofself-efficacy measures used are: 1) general academic self-efficacy, 2) domain-general self-efficacy, and 3) self-efficacy measures for specific engineering tasks or skills [5]. Generalacademic self-efficacy scales broadly assess engineering students’ beliefs in their capabilities toperform academically or perception of their competence to do the work [5]. The second, adaptedfrom general academic self-efficacy, domain-general self-efficacy asks students to rate theirgeneral confidence within a particular subject area of engineering [5]. Third, task- or skill-specific self-efficacy asks students to evaluate

].Other research presents a more balanced picture in terms of preference over constructed-responseexams, where students falling in one camp versus the other is attributed to their opposing viewson answer guessing, selecting versus constructing answers, and perceived ability to demonstrateknowledge [8].A key question is that of validity of multiple-choice exams in measuring performance.Educational psychology demonstrates that it is theoretically possible to construct multiple-choicequestions that measure many of the same cognitive abilities as constructed response ones [5, 6].However, these studies also stress the need for empirical testing and validation. In this regard,existing work has reported a range of results, with some concluding that they

Self-efficacy refers to the strength of an individual’s belief in their capabilities to complete tasks andachieve a planned outcome (Bandura, 1997). We quantified students’ self-efficacy in two areas: 1) self-efficacy for tinkering with circuits (Tinkering SE), and 2) self-efficacy for designing new electronic systems (Design SE).Higher self-efficacy

this transformation, there is cause towarrant a broader exploration of relevant constructs. First, there is concern that self-efficacy canbe considered as a deficit-based construct. Second, its creation in the American context may nottranslate directly to the African context. [4] compared results on the General Self-Efficacy Scaleacross 25 countries and found some variation in the internal consistency across countries, basedon the range of Cronbach’s alpha values, a reliability measure, seen. Most of these countrieswere located in the Global North, and no single African country was included in the study. It istherefore possible that the self-efficacy construct may not be as relevant to our students as thosein other contexts. Third, some

In particular, we study students’learning self-efficacy, that is, their confidence in themselves to learn in a CS1 course and outcomeexpectancy, that is their expected final grade in the course. We use the term learning self-efficacybecause it refers to students’ confidence measured at the beginning of the course. It’s a proxyfor their perceived ability to solve problems and learn to program. By taking factors like gender,prior programming experience, and GPA, we are interested in analyzing which factors influence astudent’s outcome expectancy and their learning self-efficacy at the beginning of a CS1 course.2 Background and Related WorkVarious instruments
