The aim of this study was to analyze differences between the perceptions of academic self-efficacy and the use of learning and study strategies in Portuguese language classes of high school students from public schools, having as criteria the parents schooling levels. Participants were 534 public high school students in the state of São Paulo. The following instruments were used: High School Students Academic Self-Efficacy Scale and Learning and Study Strategies Inventory, having used its dimension named Information Processing. The results found by the Kruskal-Wallis test indicated significant differences in academic self-efficacy beliefs of students according to the different levels of schooling of mothers and fathers. The results of the use of learning and study strategies showed no significant differences when considering the level of studies of mothers and fathers.
