Abstract

Studies on academic self-efficacy have demonstrated their role in success during the career development. In spite of this, in Argentina no instruments for measure different beliefs of self-efficacy are reported for the university context. The aim of this work was to adapt the Self-efficacy scale for academic milestones and Self-efficacy scale for academic coping in Argentinian university students. The sample was 498 students from different careers of the National University of Cordoba (Argentina). The cultural adequacy of the content of the items of both instruments was verified and the original structure of each measure was reproduced by confirmatory factor analysis. The results also indicated satisfactory values of internal consistency. Limitations are discussed and new lines of study are suggested.
