Özet:

 

Students
might have different type and different level of perceptions: Positive or
negative perceptions on programming; a perception on benefit of programming,
perceptions related to difficulties of programming process etc.  The perception of student on their own
competence is defined as self-efficacy. Based on the discussions reported in
literature, measuring self-efficacy is certainly necessary and, in this
context, is highly important in order to develop new pedagogical methods to
address the problems related to computer programming. The purpose of this study
is to adapt a well-known self-efficacy scale and determine engineering
student’s C++ computer programming self-efficacy levels. The sample group
consists of 378 engineering students. In order to test the validity of the
scale, an exploratory factor analysis has been conducted and item
discriminative power has been evaluated. The reliability of the scale, on the
other hand, has been justified using the internal consistency level. The
results indicate that the scale is reliable and valid, and it can be used to
measure the self-efficacy of the engineering student in Turkish cultural
environment. Furthermore, it is revealed that the level of self-efficacy
perception of the students is middling and it does not show any meaningful
difference between genders. On the other hand, self-efficacy perception of
students in computer engineering is found to be higher than that of the
students in electrical-electronics engineering.
