Abstract:
This paper highlights the process of construction and standardization of English self-efficacy scale for secondary school students. Self-efficacy is the personal estimation of an individual about his/her own abilities and competencies. It may favorable or unfavorable items. The scale initially consisted of 76 items after review and evaluation by subject experts, which were reduced to 72 in the first try out and then finally to 40 items in the final draft after the item analysis. The test-retest reliability of the test was computed to be 0.85. The content validity was calculated and the scale was found to be valid.
