Construction and Validation of an Academic Writing Self-Efficacy Scale

This study was designed to develop a Korean academic writing self-efficacy scale for foreign students. Based on the results of the literature review, three constructs and 30items were established. and 8 items were removed after verification by three specialists. Then a 22-item questionnaire was administered to 131 students and an exploratory factor analysis was conducted on the results. A new questionnaire was administered to 225 students based on the results of the exploratory factor analysis. and Confirmatory factor analyses were used to examine the hypothesized three-factor structure. CFA validated the proposed three-dimensional structure of academic writing self-efficacy, including conventions organization (6 items), academic writing skill (4 items), and self-regulation (4 items). CFA results revealed an acceptable model fit (x²=154.80, df=74, p<.001; x²/df=2.092; TLI=0.943; CFI=0.954; RMSEA=0.070[.05, .07]; SRMR=0.044). Cronbach’s alpha coefficient values of academic writing self-efficacy were 0.92, higher than the benchmark value (.70). Internal and composite reliability, convergent validity, and discriminant validity were examined, suggesting satisfactory psychometric properties of the scale.
