The objective of this study was to verify the self-efficacy of 50 students of both sexes and of two different education levels who participated in an Educational program for Young and Adults in a city of Sao Paulo State. A scale constructed specifically for this purpose was the instrument used for data collection. It was aimed at evaluating the students' self-perception of their academic performance and how capable they feel to perform school tasks. The Mann-Whitney U test revealed no significant differences in students of both levels of education declared self-efficacy for studying, for school performance and in general self-efficacy. With regard to sex, regardless of level of education of the students, the test showed that differences were not significant for any of the measures of self-efficacy, as well.

Palabras clave : Evaluation; Self-Efficacy; Students.
