The aim of this study
is to find out whether the science self-efficacy scale in PISA 2006 and PISA
2015 applications ensure measurement invariance. Sample of the study
consists of 4791 students in PISA 2006 and 5071 students in PISA 2015 implementation. Multi-group Confirmatory Factor
Analysis (MGCFI) was performed to determine invariance of the science
self-efficacy scale across year and gender.  Invariance stages were
examined by means of the comparison of fit indexes. The results of the study
indicated that the science self-efficacy scale satisfied all stages of
invariance by gender both in 2006 and 2015. Structural and metric invariance
was provided for both gender across years and total group across years.
