TI  - High school students’ attitudes towards ICT and media tools in learning English and academic self-efficacy beliefs
AB  - The present study aims to examine the relationship between high school students’ academic selfefficacy perceptions and their attitudes towards the use of media and information technology tools inlearning English as well as the effects of gender and grade level on these variables. To this end, 249Anatolian High School students in Istanbul from different grade levels took the Attitude Scale for theUse of Media and Information Technology Tools in Learning English (Güven, 2015) and the AcademicSelf Efficacy Scale (Kandemir , 2010). Descriptive and inferential statistical methods were carried outto analyze the quantitative data. The results showed that female students feel academically more selfefficient although no difference emerged between males and females in terms of their attitudestowards ICT and media tools in learning English. An incremental pattern was also observed in thatstudents from the higher grade levels have more positive attitudes and feel more self-efficacious thanstudents in the lower grades. In addition, correlational analyses showed that the students with apositive attitude towards ICT and media tools in learning English have higher academic self- efficacylevels. Likewise, the students with negative attitudes towards ICT and media tools had loweracademic self-efficacy ratings.
