Development and validation of the teacher self-efficacy scale to implement self-regulated learning

Book Contribution - Book Abstract Conference Contribution

This paper describes the development of a self-report instrument: the Teacher Self-Efficacy Scale to implement Self-Regulated Learning (TSES-SRL). This instrument measures teachers' perceived ability to integrate activities promoting self-regulated learning in classroom practice as a specific instructional domain. Such a teacher self-efficacy scale is currently missing in the SRL research field. The process of the item and scale development is presented. Exploratory factor analysis suggests a four-factor structure. Next, confirmatory factor analysis was performed and goodness of fit estimates were calculated, indicating an acceptable fit. Furthermore, this instrument also shows noticeable differences in results from a more general teacher self-efficacy scale, which shows us that the process of teaching self-regulated learning is different from more general classroom instruction and corroborates the use of a specific measure. Overall, the TSES-SRL is considered a useful instrument to measure teachers' feelings of competence regarding SRL implementation.
