Development and Validation of Scores on a Computer Programming Self-Efficacy Scale and Group Analyses of Novice Programmer Self-Efficacy.
Ramalingam, Vennila; Wiedenbeck, Susan
Journal of Educational Computing Research, v19 n4 p367-81 1998
A 32-item self-efficacy scale for computer programming was developed, primed to the C++ programming language. The scale was administered to 421 students at the beginning and end of an introductory course in C++ programming. There was growth in self-efficacy between two administrations of the scale 12 weeks apart, particularly for students who initially had low self-efficacy. (Author/AEF)
