The present work describes the development of a new measure of school counselors’ perceived self-efficacy regarding their knowledge of information and processes necessary to effectively guide their students through the college transition process. Researchers developed the School Counselor Efficacy for College Knowledge Questionnaire and examined data from a national sample of 600 school counselors to determine its psychometric properties and factor structure. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported use of a modified five-factor model. Results showed strong internal consistency and preliminary evidence for convergent and divergent validity of the resultant scales.

当前的工作描述了一种新的方法，用于衡量学校辅导员的自我效能感，这些指导意见涉及他们对于有效指导学生完成大学过渡过程所必需的信息和过程的知识。研究人员开发了《学校辅导员对大学知识问卷的功效》，并研究了来自全国600名学校辅导员样本的数据，以确定其心理计量学特性和因素结构。探索性和确定性因素分析支持使用改进的五因素模型。结果显示出很强的内部一致性，并初步证明了所得量表的收敛性和发散性。
