Abstract

The purpose of this study was to validate Academic Behavioural Confidence (ABC) scales for students in Indonesia. Academic behavioural confidence scales are useful to help teachers understand their students and organize effective learning models. The scale of academic behavioural confidence originally consists of 24 items, which comprise of six components namely: grade, studying, verbalizing, attendance, understanding, and requesting. The participants of this study were students at a private university in Semarang. The total number of research participants amounted to 753 students. Exploratory factor analysis found a different component when compared to the findings of the previous study, namely the understanding component. Thus, in this study, four components formed the scale of academic behavioural confidence: grade, verbalizing, studying, and understanding.
