Abstract

In this study, the “ Chemistry Attitudes and Experiences Survey” developed by Dalgety, Coll and Jones (2003) to assess the chemistry self-efficacy levels of university students at the general chemistry classes was used. The “Chemistry Self Efficacy” section of the survey was adapted into Turkish and then the validity and reliability analysis were made. The survey was administered to total 496 university students. CSES, the original version, which had four factors, was tested via the Maximum Likelihood Estimation technique and the calculated error variances were examined. The analysis concluded that the original assessment model and the adapted version were in line with each other while the factor structure of CSES was also confirmed. Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient for factors and the scale was calculated for analyzing the reliability of the scale. The Alpha value calculated for CSES was .88 (17 items). As a conclusion, it was observed that CSES had reliable assessment outcomes at both factor level and the scale level.
