摘要
The purpose of this study is to develop a reliable and valid self-efficacy scale which intends to measure academics' self-efficacy beliefs in oral communication in a foreign language. The data in this study were collected from 395 academics working in state and foundation universities in Turkey. The 29 items in the scale trial form were rated on a 10-point Likert scale. After ensuring that the assumptions were met, an exploratory factor analysis was performed, which indicated a structure with one factor and 19 items. The 19 items in one dimension explained 75.709% of the variance in academics' self-efficacy beliefs in oral communication in a foreign language. The overall internal consistency reliability of the scale was high, with a Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient of .982. The results indicate that our self-efficacy instrument is reliable and valid for measuring academics' oral communication self-efficacy beliefs in a foreign language.
