This study aims to construct and standardize a motor self-efficacy scale for female students of Colleges of Physical Education and Sports Sciences in the sport of rhythmic gymnastics, due to the importance of this concept in understanding the student’s level of confidence in her motor performance and her positive interaction with skill-related tasks. The descriptive method was employed using the approach of constructing and standardizing measurement tools. The scale was applied to a sample consisting of (30) female students. The scale was prepared according to scientific procedures that included item formulation, expert validation, pilot application, extraction of validity and reliability coefficients, and the determination of normative standards. The results revealed that the sample possessed a moderate to acceptable level of motor self-efficacy, reflecting the impact of the educational environment and the skills acquired through university-level training in rhythmic gymnastics. The researcher recommends adopting this scale as a diagnostic and developmental tool within physical and skill preparation programs for female physical education students.
