Validity of teacher's self- efficacy questionnaire is verified by exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). EFA is conducted with principal components and rotation of varimax method. Three factors are obtained: self- efficacy for classroom engagement, self- efficacy for student management and self- efficacy for instructional strategy.
