INACIO, Patrícia  y  GAMBOA, Vítor. Self-efficacy in using the internet to do school and professional survey. Rev. bras. orientac. prof [online]. 2008, vol.9, n.1, pp. 13-28. ISSN 1984-7270.

The main goal of this study was to analyze the self-efficacy of students attending the last terms of school (7^th and 9^th) and high school (3^rd) grade, in using the internet to do school and professional survey. The sample consisted of 187 students (M=15,01; SD=2,142) of both genders, of which 33,2% attended the 7^th grade, 34,2%, the 9^th grade and 32,6% the 3^rd high school. Multiple regression analyses (stepwise method) indicated that high levels of internet self-efficacy in career information search predicts a wider exploratory activity. Moreover, it was observed that the level of self-efficacy increases with the level of schooling, and that the 3^rd high school grade students were the most confident to do career exploration search on the internet.
