A Measure of College-Going Self-Efficacy for Middle School Students
Gibbons, Melinda M.; Borders, L. DiAnne
Professional School Counseling, v13 n4 p234-243 Apr 2010
Many career and educational plans are made well before high school graduation. School counselors' efforts to support these plans are limited by the lack of assessments of middle school students' college-going beliefs. Development of the College-Going Self-Efficacy Scale for middle school students is described in this article. Initial evidence of validity and reliability from three separate studies is reported, and suggestions for using this scale with students are provided. (Contains 1 table.)
