Academic self-efficacy beliefs of students are important prerequisites for self-initiated

activities in the academic context, with girls and boys often benefiting differently. It is still unclear whether the quality of the learning environment, as an important factor for academic achievement, is also of importance for the reading-related self-efficacy conviction. The aim of this paper is to

examine the relationship between the three characteristics of quality teaching and reading-related

self-efficacy in the course of a school year. With N = 1597 students of the 7th year, double-manifest

regression analyzes under control of gender and socioeconomic background were conducted for

correlation testing. At the individual level, correlations were found between the subscales of efficient class leadership, cognitive activation and the reading-related self-efficacy conviction, but only

a small significance of the control variables was found. Characteristics on class level do not seem to have high meanings. The results highlight the importance of perceived teaching quality for learning

and performance-related motivational characteristics.
