Institutions such as The ministry of Education and
student selection and placement center place importance on assessment and
evaluation techniques in recent years to measure efficacy of students. The
institutions are trying to carry out written examinations and provide the
adaptation of students to this kind of evaluation technique. In this study,
general survey model is used. The application scale of the self-efficacy
towards written examination was developed in the direction of Mamak Anatolia
high school and Sehit Piyade Er Murat Eroglu secondary school students. The
validity and the reliability of the scale is done on the data gained from 305
students elected by the method of convenience sampling. At first, the scale was
prepared as 61 items. Then 36 items are taken out related to factor analysis
and 25 items left eventually. KMO
(Kaiser-Meyer Olkin ) value is 0.870 and the value of (Cronbach alpha) calculated
for the reliability study is .887. As a result of factorial validity of the
scale, items change between .416
and .722. According to the factor
analysis results, three factors are found. These factors are ‘self-confidence’,
’higher order thinking’ and ‘effort’. This study shows that the scale has a
valid and reliable form.
