Czech validation of the self-regulation and self-efficacy questionnaires for learning

Abstract

The authors present the findings of the second round Czech validation of the Self-Regulation Questionnaire (SRQ-CZ), originally developed by Brown et al. (1999) and the Self-efficacy Questionnaire for learning (SEQ), developed by Jakesova (2014). The sample consists of participants enrolled in the formal and informal education system in the Czech Republic (n = 1.244). EFA and CFA yielded a four-factor model for SRQ-CZ with 21 items, Alpha of .85 and a one-factor model for SEQ, 8 items, Alpha of .89. The analysis suggests that the general models representing self-regulation and self-efficacy for learning are a reasonable representation of the data. (C) 2016 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
