For the purpose of the study, the quantitative data of the research was collected throughMultidimensional Locus of Control Scale developed by Levenson (1974) and adapted to Turkish by Kıral (2012).The scale, consisting of 24 items (6 point Likert type), simply examines the internal and the external locus ofcontrol of pre-service EFL teacher candidates. It measures (a) internal locus of control (8 items), (b) locus ofcontrol based on others (6 items), and (c) locus of control based on chance (5 items). The Cronbach Alphacoefficient for this scale is .77. As to the Academic Self-efficacy Scale, College Academic Self-Efficacy Scalewas adapted from Owen & Froman (1988), consisting of 33 items measuring male and female ELT students’academic self-efficacy beliefs as a whole. The Cronbach Alpha coefficient for this scale is .83. The scale is a 5-point Likert scale ranging from ‘very little’ (1) ‘quite a lot’ (5). It is assumed that the higher the locus of controlof EFL teachers, the higher level of academic self-efficacy is.
