United States federal mandates and reforms to address the needs of at-risk students have resulted in many states being required to implement evidence-based practices (EBP) and tiered systems of support (TSS). We examined the relationships between successful implementation of EBP and tiered frameworks, specifically Positive Behavior Interventions and Support (PBIS) and the constructs of teacher self-efficacy, collective efficacy, and teacher attributions. Data were collected using the School-wide Evaluation Tool (SET), Teacher Self-Efficacy Scale (TSES), the Collective Efficacy Scale (CES), and Teachers’ Attributions for Student Behavior Measure (TASBM). Significant correlations were found between PBIS implementation level and 1) Instructional Strategies subscale of the TSES; 2) Collective Efficacy Scale and both of its subscales; and 3) TASBM and its Stable and Blame subscales. Significant differences in mean ratings were found between high implementing schools and low implementing schools on the Instructional Strategies subscale of the TSES, on the CES, and both of its subscale. Results showed a decrease in mean ratings on the Blame subscale of the TASBM in schools that had higher implementation scores on the SET.

Abstract This paper presents the Teacher Self-efficacy Scale, short version, and the School Collective Beliefs Scale adaptation and search of validities evidences process. After the semantic-cultural adaptation process, this study was composed by 380 educators from the public educational system in the state of São Paulo. The teacher self-efficacy scale, composed by 12 items, was organized into three factors. The School Collective Efficacy scale, composed by 12 items, was structured into two factors. Such adaptations, through the exploratory factor analysis yielded similar factor structure to the original scales, showed good evidence for variance explained, and internal consistency. Convergent validity was verified by the significant correlation between self-efficacy and collective efficacy. Criteria validity was verified through significant correlations between these beliefs and school performance. It is suggested to increase the sample size to confirm these results.

Teacher Self Efficacy

Although scholars have acknowledged the role of collaborative relationships of teachers in improving the quality of instruction, teacher collective efficacy continues to be a neglected construct in educational research. The purpose of this paper is to explore the relations between transformational school leadership, teacher self-efficacy and perceived collective teacher efficacy, using a sample of 120 permanent secondary-school teachers in Serbia, whose average age was 42.5. The results of the hierarchical regression analysis showed that transformational school leadership and teacher self-efficacy were independent predictors of teacher collective efficacy. The research findings also showed that individually-focused transformational leadership contributed significantly to an explanation of collective efficiency after controlling specific predictor effects of group-focused dimensions of transformational leadership. It is argued that the results have a double meaning. First, this study expanded the understanding of the relationship between different dimensions of transformational school leadership and collective teacher efficacy. Second, a contribution of teacher self-efficacy to collective efficacy beliefs was established, confirming the assumptions of social cognitive theory on reciprocal causality between two types of perceived efficacy: individual and collective.

Student problem behaviors in early elementary school have been associated with increased teacher burnout, negative emotions, and stress, along with negative student outcomes, including increased risk of emotional and behavioral disorders (EBDs). This study examined the impact of BEST in CLASS–Elementary (BEST in CLASS-E), a teacher-delivered Tier 2 intervention, on teacher self-efficacy, burnout, and attributions for student behavior. Participants in the study were 45 kindergarten to Grade 3 students, identified as at risk of EBD, and their 26 teachers from three elementary schools located in an urban school district. Although changes in teacher self-efficacy and burnout were nonsignificant, results suggest that teachers in the BEST in CLASS-E condition reported less emotional exhaustion than teachers in the control condition and that BEST in CLASS-E had a slight but nonsignificant effect ( p = .06) on teachers’ causal attributions of problem behavior. This study highlights the promise of BEST in CLASS-E as a Tier-2 intervention delivered by teachers in impacting elementary teacher outcomes. Implications and limitations of the study are discussed.

The purpose of this study was to identify the relationships between transformational leadership dimensions and the dimensions of teacher self-efficacy in Malaysian Chinese Independent High Schools (CIHS) in Malaysia. This study employed a cross-sectional quantitative survey research design. Data were collected from five CIHS in Pulau Pinang. A total of 384 respondents from CIHS were participated in this study. This study used partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) approaches for data analysis. Findings showed that the charisma dimension has significant relationship with each dimensions of teacher self-efficacy: instructional strategies (β = 0.244, p < 0.05), classroom management (β = 0.264, p < 0.05), and student engagement (β = 0.192, p < 0.05). However, dimension of motivation inspiration has no significant relationships with each dimension of teacher self-efficacy: instructional strategies (β = −0.159, p = 0.061), classroom management (β = −0.185, p = 0.066), and student engagement (β = −0.195, p = 0.068). The dimension of individualised consideration has no significant positive relationship with instructional strategic (β = 0.109, p = 0.130). However, individualised consideration has significant positive relationship with classroom management (β = 0.309, p = 0.001) and student engagement (β = 0.336, p < 0.001). The dimension of intellectual motivation has significant positive relationship with instructional strategic (β = 0.225, p = 0.016). In contrast, no significant relationships were found between intellectual motivation and classroom management (β = 0.100, p = 0.162) as well as intellectual motivation and student engagement (β = 0.336, p < 0.001). Transformational leadership contributed 16.1% variance explained on instructional strategies, 15.8% variance explained on classroom management, and 18.1% variance explained on student engagement dimension. Implications and direction for future studies were discussed.

The Relationship

Efficacy is a person’s degree of beliefs and confidence to implement a task and produce a positive change. Efficacy can be divided into two aspects, namely self-efficacy and collective efficacy. In the context of education, the focus of research on efficacy is on teacher self-efficacy and collective teacher efficacy. Teacher self-efficacy is teachers’ belief in their own ability to carry out a task in order to bring positive changes, while collective teacher efficacy is the shared belief of teachers from different backgrounds and competencies in their ability to achieve the same goal. Collective efficacy depends on teacher self-efficacy to create collective beliefs in ensuring the achievement of the school’s vision and mission. Studies on collective teacher efficacy have brought positive effects on student performance and achievement and become an indicator of student performance. However, the research trend has shifted to focus on the relationship between collective teacher efficacy and teacher leadership. It was found that collective teacher efficacy not only influenced student performance and achievement but also affected teacher leadership. In the Malaysian context, studies on collective teacher efficacy are still scarce and they mostly focused on demographic levels, factors affecting teacher collective efficacy, level of collective teacher efficacy and the relationship between collective teacher efficacy and student achievement. As teacher quality is an important factor in educational improvement, it is proposed that future studies in the Malaysian context emphasize the relationship between teacher collective efficacy and issues regarding teacher leadership as they eventually bring positive effects on students’ academic achievement. Therefore, more research is needed to address the role of teacher collective efficacy on teacher leadership in promoting quality of teaching and learning. A large scale radical improvement in the educational field is highly needed.

Teacher self-efficacy is a cognitive process that allows an individual to measure the level of self-confidence in behavior change. In relation to that, this study was conducted to identify the level of self-efficacy of teachers in National Secondary School (SMK) in Peninsular Malaysia. Three dimensions namely Student Engagement, Instructional Strategies, and Classroom Management were measure in this study. There were 357 teachers selected randomly for this study. Data were collected through a questionnaire using the Teacher Sense of Efficacy Scale (TSES) instrument. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to describe the level of self-efficacy of teachers. The findings of the study show that the level of self-efficacy of teachers in SMK in Peninsular Malaysia at a high level (Mean = 4.15, SP = .425). Student Engagement dimension (Min = 4.11, SP = .443), Instructional Strategies dimensions (Mean = 4.15, SP = .456) and Classroom Management dimension (Mean = 4.19, SP = .491).

<p>The objective of this work was to systematically review existent researches about teacher self-efficacy. For this purpose, searches are performed on the data basis of <em>CAPES – periódicos</em> between 2009 and 2013. The survey resulted on 26 articles that contemplated the criteria of inclusion previously established. The results of the studies indicate that self efficacy is influenced by factors as emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, job satisfaction, relationship with parents, use of violence, pressures of time, academic performance, class management, collective efficacy, among others. Such results contribute to sign the direction of researches performed in the area, indicating some trends and evidencing gaps to be investigated, for example, a larger number of studies that verify the relation between self efficacy and academic performance, as well as, teacher self efficacy and public policies that favor the process of teaching-learning.</p><p> </p>

Metric Measurement

Teacher self-efficacy (TSE) is an important construct in the prediction of positive student and teacher outcomes. However, problems with its measurement have persisted, often through confounding TSE with other constructs. This research introduces an adapted TSE instrument for preservice teachers, which is closely aligned with self-efficacy experts' recommendations for measuring self-efficacy, and based on a widely used measure of TSE. We provide first evidence of construct validity for this instrument. Participants were 851 preservice teachers in three samples from Germany and New Zealand. Results of the multiple-group confirmatory factor analyses showed a uniform 3-factor solution for all samples, metric measurement invariance, and a consistent and moderate correlation between TSE and a measure of general self-efficacy across all samples. Despite limitations to this study, there is some first evidence that this measure allows for a valid 3-dimensional assessment of TSE in preservice teachers.
