3.2.3. Survey Instrument
The full survey administered to ENGR 106 (Appendix A) and CHE 205
(Appendix B) students probed their perceptions of the learning environment and
their engineering efficacy beliefs (Follman, Patrick, & French, In Preparation).
Students’ self-efficacy beliefs concerning ENGR 106 (academic efficacy) were
assessed using 5-point Likert-scale items developed by the research team.
The same academic efficacy items, modified to include reference to CHE 205,
were administered to second-year students as 3-point Likert-scale items. Firstand
second-year students’ confidence in their abilities to reach future
engineering milestones (engineering milestone efficacy) was also assessed
using 5-point and 3-point Likert-scale items respectively. Scales of different
lengths were used in the first- and second-year surveys due to changes that
had to be made when adapting the survey to be administered electronically.
Survey items were modeled after the Self-Efficacy for Academic Milestones
scale developed by Lent et al. (1986) and Midgley et al.’s (1996) Patterns of
Adaptive Learning Survey, both of which have been used extensively and shown to be accurate efficacy assessment tools (e.g. Gore, 2006; Kahn &
Nauta, 2001; Kaplan & Midgley, 1997).
