It is a behavioural feature found in individual in varying degrees decided by the intensity of trust on oneself at feeling level, thinking level and at functional (action) level. In developing an instrument for assessing Self- Efficacy of teachers, the need for considering the individuals’ domain of activity was theoretically established and proved by adopting the domain of teaching. Evidences of different validities were recorded along with the measure of reliability. The presence of universal constructs of Self- Efficacy - Depression, Anxiety, and Optimism in the newly prepared instrument is shown through the process of verifying its criterion related validity. The researcher confirms the utility of the areas of teaching activity – Individual Growth Oriented Practices (IGOP), Instructional Practices (IP), and Social Emotional Practices (SEP) in assessing teachers’ Self- Efficacy, by confirmatory factor analysis. 1. INTRODUCTION The personal sense of control is the basic factor driving an individual to function in a way appropriate to his / her perception. The theory of self-efficacy proposes the same for the occurrences of behavioural change and different forms of psychotherapy (Bandura, 1977). If an individual believes in his / her strength to solve a problem, the inclination towards the task would become more intense with more commitment to execute the decision. Naturally, self-referent thought has become a focus of many of the psychological researches involving different domains.
