Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study was to develop a research tool for assessing high school students’ academic self-efficacy, which is not yet available in the Czech environment. The research sample consists of 1717 high school students from all regions of the Czech Republic. The research included secondary vocational schools and grammar schools. Pupils filled in the questionnaire for Czech language and for mathematics. The final research tool is highly reliable and also its validity has been verified. Furthermore, the significant relationship between measured academic self-efficacy and the popularity of the school subject was found. Also the link with the school grade, the type of school, specific learning and behavioral disorders and other variables was confirmed.
