informative to students, but also produced self-regulatory reactions, such as increasing studying to score better in the classroom Zimmerman et al., 2006. Some of the studies have
explored the significant influence of students’ conceptions of learning science on their science learning self-efficacy Chiou Liang, 2012; Tsai et al., 2011. There was a linear
relationship between students’ self-efficacy and their performing in tasks Pintrich Schunk, 2002. Consequently, students who had strong self-efficacy beliefs in determining a given
project and done it successfully were likely to employ in the task, while fewer self-efficacious students were distinct to avoid it.
In this study, some of the previous research of university’s student self-efficacy in science education will be analyzed and reviewed. By using a selection method, then this study
becomes more focused. Therefore, the aim of this study was reviewed how the preceding researchers developed the self-efficacy scale and how they examined their information. In
bare, this study was directed to analyze a questionnaire of previous inquiries. Therefore, this study was fixed in the earlier empirical studies only.
2. Materials and methods
2.1 Procedure of systematic review
The procedure of systemic review followed the direction in Figure 1. The process started from defining the purpose and following by conducting a searching literature. Then
pulling the articles by reading abstracts to capture the main idea of the previous study. For clarification and depth understanding, reading a full paper became important. The procedure
continued by data abstraction and condungting analysis to describe the conclusion based on the purpose of the study.

2.2 Selection studies process
The review focused on four criteria: how researchers made sample selectivity, self- efficacy scale, analysis of data and findings, and the subjects were university science domains
physics, chemistry, and biology. To identify relevant studies on university students’ self- efficacy, the science education journal, from SJR SCImago Journal and Country Rank were
selected. Finally, there were already chosen International Journal of Science Education--IJSE,
Research on University Student’s self-efficacy scale in science education: A systematic review
SWUP
SC.122
Research in Science Education--Res Sci Educ, and International Journal of Innovation in Science and Mathematics Education IJISME. Res Sci Educ was published by Springer and IJSE
was published by Routledge Taylor and Francis Group. IJISME was published by University of Sidney, Australia. In addition, two of these journals listed in Social Science Citation Index
by Thomson Reuters. In the following step, about eight articles within the last 10 years remained worthy of being read more closely. From the obtained collection, those articles
were selected that present empirical studies, including self-efficacy scale, validity, and reliability in the sense identified above. Some authors stated clearly the set of their fields;
some did not provide any information at all. Finally, the papers were chosen as listed in Table 1.
