Book excerpt: In order to measure the skills and knowledge learned in high school years, academic performance (AP) serves as a basis for evaluation whether the students are meeting academic standards. In relation to this, Self-efficacy beliefs serve as a mediator of Academic Performance (Bandura, 2012; Bandura, 2006). Thus, the research is primarily focused on the development and validation of the Academic Self-efficacy Scale (ASES) for Filipino junior high school students. The design of the research was in the form of Test Development and anchored on Classical Test Theory. There were a total of 4,759 as respondents for the study. Three stages of processes that were imposed include the development of the initial, preliminary and final form. The 240 items were validated by four expert judges which include one registered Psychologist, one certified Educational Psychologist, one registered Guidance Counselor and one high school Principal. Result showed using Lawshe CVR and Intra Class Correlation that the expert validators have high agreement on the items of ASES. Moreover UL-LL method, Cronbach alpha, split half method and item to total correlation were also implemented. In addition, Confirmatory Factor Analysis was also utilized. The factor structure verified the four iterations which includes Perceived Control (PC), Competence (C), Persistence (P) and Self-regulated Learning (SRL) domains. Convergent and concurrent validity that were employed suggest that the ASES is a valid measure. The Final Form is composed of 62 items. In conclusion, the results of the study revealed that the ASES for K to 12 Junior High School students is a reliable and valid measure of Academic Self-efficacy.
