- Abstract
This study aimed to investigate high school students’ self-efficacy toward chemistry and determine their self-efficacy across grade levels. The participants were 255 high school students from a public senior high school in Blora Regency, Central of Java, Indonesia. A simple random sampling technique was used to choose the respondents. Those are 96 participants of 10th grade, 81 participants of 11th grade, and 78 participants of 12th grade. High School Chemistry Self-Efficacy Scale (HCSS), which consists of a self-efficacy scale for cognitive skills (CSCS) and chemistry laboratory (SCL), was used for assessing high school students’ self-efficacy toward chemistry. It has been validated and proven reliable using Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Cronbach Alpha. For analyzing the data, descriptive analysis was used to determine the percentage, means, and standard deviations. One-way ANOVA was also used to compare students’ self-efficacy based on the grade level. This study showed that most of the high school students’ self-efficacy is on average level. In both CSCS and SCL, the higher the grades, the higher the students’ self-efficacy. This finding could be used to predict the students’ achievement in chemistry learning.
