The validity of the instruments was evaluated by means of expert judgment and factor analysis. Cronbach's alpha reliability of the AA was 0,938 and of the ALAI 0,908. The results showed a significant inverse correlation between the variables (r = -0,403, p = 0,001). It is concluded that the higher the AA, the lower the ALAI, which merits improving students' self-efficacy
