- The Librarian Teaching Self-Efficacy Scale Maoria J. Kirker David X. Lemmons Self Efficacy Measures (Individuals) Librarians Library Instruction Test Validity Academic Libraries Beliefs Librarian Attitudes Information Literacy Test Reliability College Faculty Sex Race Teaching Experience Employment Experience Teamwork Professional Associations Library Associations Teaching self-efficacy is a critical factor in instructional success. Little research has been conducted on how academic librarians perceive their own teaching abilities. This study introduces and validates the "Librarian Teaching Self-Efficacy Scale", a tool designed to measure self-efficacy beliefs among academic librarians engaged in information literacy instruction. By adapting established self-efficacy scales to the library instruction context, this study examines key factors influencing librarian teaching self-efficacy, including instructional strategies, lesson planning, and collaboration with faculty. Collective self-efficacy, which is perceptions of colleagues' teaching confidence, is also examined. Statistical analysis indicates a reliable and valid scale which may benefit from further testing. The study highlights implications for librarian professional development, emphasizing the need for continued research on how teaching self-efficacy develops and its potential role in preventing burnout. Ultimately, the "Librarian Teaching Self-Efficacy Scale" provides a reflective tool for academic librarians to assess and enhance their instructional confidence.
