The purpose of this study is to develop a scale to be used to determine self-efficacy beliefs of teachers. The study group of the research consists of teachers of primary, secondary and high schools. Explanatory (EFA) and confirmatory (CFA) factor analyses were conducted to assess the structural validity of the scale. The results of the EFA showed that the scale was comprised of four factors, namely, Academic Self-Efficacy, Professional Self-Efficacy, Social Self-Efficacy, and Intellectual Self-Efficacy. The scale consisted of 27 items. CFA revealed a χ2/sd ratio of 2.12. Other goodness for fit indexes computed by CFA were: GFI = .85, AGFI = .82, RMSEA = .06, RMR = .03, SRMR = .06, CFI = .97, NFI = .95, NNFI = .97. As a result, a valid and reliable scale with sufficient psychometric features was developed that could be used to determine the self-efficacy beliefs of teachers.
