abstract = {(1) Background: New migratory flows taking place in Europe and the USA are categorised by
a huge arrival of unaccompanied foreign minors (UFM), requiring appropriate attention to schooling
in order to guarantee their integration. In facing this situation, the various political and educational
administrations of the European Union (EU) have promoted an action plan for schools. Despite
this, it has been shown that schooling does not totally guarantee social integration, encouraging the
development of a new social model to generate new ways of understanding the learning process.
(2) Methods: The aim of the present study is to adapt and validate Bandura’s academic self-efficacy
scale (2006) within a sample of UFM. This scale is composed of 18 items distributed according to
three underlying constructs. (3) Results: The validation analysis consisted of an exploratory factorial
analysis using principal component analysis with varimax rotation, followed by confirmatory factorial
analysis using structural equations (root mean squared error of approximation (RMSEA) = 0.052;
normalised fit index (NFI) = 0.90; incremental fit index (IFI) = 0.91; confirmatory fit index (CFI) = 0.91).
Reliability and internal consistency of the instrument was also tested with values being higher than
0.7 for all dimensions. (4) Conclusions: The final instrument was reduced to 12 items which were
grouped into three dimensions (effort, self-confidence and understanding). Finally, the conducted
multi-group analysis showed a stronger relationship between understanding, self-confidence and
effort within UFM who had resided in Spain for a longer time. This could be linked to the more
prolonged schooling process received.},
