So many self-efficacy tools are available at outside but all these are useful to secondary school students only, for this reason the self-efficacy tool for primary school students were prepared and standardized by the researchers. The sample consists of 150 primary school students were selected for pilot study. The reliability of the tool 0.674 by Cronbach method, validity of the tool 0.822 were established by the test constructors. Students generally avoid tasks when their self-efficacy is low, but undertake tasks when their self-efficacy is high. self-efficay plays a vital role in academic performance of students.
