English is a global language used to communicate with members of the international community. Self-efficacy in learning English is an important factor that is influenced by perceived importance, interest, and beliefs about the ability to successfully perform tasks in English.
The aim is to develop and validate a measurement instrument to assess English self-efficacy.
A total of 453 students from different Peruvian universities participated, with ages ranging from 18 to 60 years (M = 23; SD = 6.18). Statistical techniques for latent variables were used and recommendations for educational and psychological tests were followed in its construction. The sample was divided into two groups to perform exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA).
The English Self-Efficacy Scale (ESS-P) is representative and relevant in terms of its item content (Aiken's V > 0.70). Its internal structure is organized into three first order factors and a second order factor that are consistent with the theoretical proposal and was confirmed through CFA with excellent goodness-of-fit indices (χ = 1184.9, gl = 626, CFI = 0.92, TLI = 0.92, RMSEA = 0.06 y SRMR = 0.04). It also has adequate internal consistency in its three factors (Reading α/ω = 0.96), Oral Communication (α/ω = 0.95), and Writing (α/ω = 0.97) and the whole scale (α/ω = 0.98), is invariant with respect to sex, and has a conceptual relationship with variables such as academic self-efficacy and exam anxiety.
The ESS-P is a measurement instrument with evidence of validity, factorial invariance, and good reliability of its scores. Therefore, it can be used in future studies in the academic context.
英语是一种用于与国际社会成员交流的全球语言。英语学习自我效能感是一个重要因素，它受到对英语重要性的认知、兴趣以及对成功用英语完成任务能力的信念的影响。
旨在开发并验证一种评估英语自我效能感的测量工具。
共有来自秘鲁不同大学的453名学生参与，年龄在18至60岁之间（M = 23；SD = 6.18）。使用了潜变量统计技术，并在其构建过程中遵循了教育和心理测试的建议。样本被分为两组以进行探索性因素分析（EFA）和验证性因素分析（CFA）。
英语自我效能量表（ESS-P）在项目内容方面具有代表性且相关（艾肯V>0.70）。其内部结构由三个一阶因素和一个二阶因素组成，与理论构想一致，并通过CFA得到了出色的拟合优度指标验证（χ = 1184.9，gl = 626，CFI = 0.92，TLI = 0.92，RMSEA = 0.06，SRMR = 0.04）。它在三个因素（阅读α/ω = 0.96）、口语交流（α/ω = 0.95）和写作（α/ω = 0.97）以及整个量表（α/ω = 0.98）方面具有足够的内部一致性，在性别方面具有不变性，并且与学术自我效能感和考试焦虑等变量具有概念关系。
ESS-P是一种具有效度、因素不变性和分数可靠性良好证据的测量工具。因此，它可用于未来学术背景下的研究。
