Some of them have been improving and validating the instrument to measure it. The purpose of the present study is to validate an adapted version of Praver’s (2014) questionnaire. The modified questionnaire, a 30-item 6-point Likert scale, was comprised of 10 items measuring efficacy for student engagement (SE), 10 items measuring efficacy for instructional strategies (IS), and 10 items measuring efficacy for classroom management (CM). The questionnaire was answered by 33 English teachers who work at a Japanese university, and a Rasch analysis was performed to examine its validity. The results showed that although there were a few items that should be replaced, most of the items functioned well. The modified items increased the difficulty level so that they could even measure the self-efficacy of able teachers.}, pages = {35--50}, title = {Refining and validating a Japanese university english teachers’ self-efficacy questionnaire}, year = {2022} }
