Abstract
This scoping review aims to map the theoretical and methodological trends in international research on self-efficacy for collaboration, focusing on studies published between 2020 and 2025. The analysis of 16 articles reveals a predominance of quantitative and mixed-method approaches, with validated scales as the primary instruments, particularly in contexts of interprofessional education in healthcare and general education within the humanities. The studies highlight self-efficacy as an individual belief in group settings, though with conceptual divergences: some link it to specific competencies, while others integrate complementary frameworks such as collective efficacy and more specialized theories. Methodologically, quasi-experimental and mixed designs prevail, adapted to real-world educational and clinical contexts. However, limitations are identified, including the underutilization of Bandura's four sources of self-efficacy and non-representative samples. Additionally, few studies move beyond the individual level to analyze collective dynamics, despite their relevance in interdisciplinary teams.
