Abstract

A total of 397 students majoring in environment design were investigated by questionnaire method to study their perceived academic self-efficacy. The academic self-efficacy scale compiled by Liang Yusong (2000) by referring to the research conducted by Pintrch and DeGroot was adopted. The reliability and validity of the scale was 0.834, and the Alpha coefficient was between 0.8 and 0.9, indicating that the reliability is acceptable. The research results showed that the overall academic self-efficacy of students majoring in environment design is on the high side, which is significantly correlated with serving as class leader and the grade; no significant difference was found in gender, student origin and being the only child. The investigation of perceived academic self-efficacy is helpful to predict the good learning behavior of students majoring in environment design.
