Abstract (2. Language): 
In this study, it is examined how the self-efficacy perception, which is as effective as cognitive level of academic achievement, changes according to department and sex in computer programming. Selfefficacy perception scale related to programming is used as data collection tool in the study. The research group consists of 119 students who take computer programming course in electricalelectronics and textile engineering departments of Marmara University Faculty of Technology during the spring semester of 2016-2017 academic year. The results of the study revealed that; the selfefficacy of students is high to perform simple programming tasks, but low in terms of performing complex programming tasks. In addition, it is observed that students in the electrical-electronics engineering department have a higher self-efficacy perception than students in the textile engineering department. Also self-efficacy beliefs differed with respect to their gender, male students have a higher self-efficacy perception than female students.
