This article aims to contribute new, longitudinal evidence on teacher self-efficacy (TSE) by investigating changes in TSE over the last 2 years of an Australian initial teacher education program. Two hundred and one pre-service teachers were surveyed at three timepoints: (1) after the first professional experience placement, (2) before and (3) after the final placement, using the Scale for Teacher Self-Efficacy. Data were analysed using multilevel modelling. TSE for the domains of classroom management and student engagement decreased significantly between the first and before the commencement of the last professional experience placements. All three dimensions of TSE – instructional strategies, student engagement and classroom management – increased significantly during the final placement.

Technology-enhanced learning continues to provide opportunities for increased interventions in educational programing. For teacher education programs, novelty pales in comparison to providing meaningful instruction and enduring outcomes. The use of avatars has provided integration of research evidence that increases intended behaviors; however, research is lacking on teacher self-efficacy change via an avatar experience. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between teacher self-efficacy and avatar use in a teacher education program. A relational study using both parametric and non-parametric designs for four different samples indicated a significant relationship between avatar intervention and teacher self-efficacy in classroom management, instructional strategies, and student engagement. The sample from a student teaching course, which had a limited number of participants, provided mixed results. More studies need to include experimental designs and isolation of variabilities in the avatar model.

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 purpose of this study was to investigate pre-service English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs. The study was a descriptive study based on a single screening model. A total of 291 freshman, sophomore, junior and senior students studying at a state university in Turkey during the fall semester of the academic year 2018-2019 participated in the study. Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy Scale (TSES) which was originally developed by Tschannen-Moran & Woolfolk Hoy (2001) and adapted into Turkish by Çapa, Çakıroğlu, and Sarıkaya (2005) was used to determine pre-service EFL teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs. Pre-service EFL teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs were analyzed by descriptive statistics.  Differences in participants’ self-efficacy perceptions by class level were analyzed by one-way ANOVA. The Tukey multiple comparison test was used to determine significant differences among the different class levels. Research results revealed that pre-service EFL teachers had relatively high-level teacher self-efficacy perceptions in general and for classroom management, student engagement and instructional strategies subscales. Also, it was found that juniors had significantly higher scores than sophomores in both total scale and student engagement subscale. Total and subscale scores at other class levels did not differ significantly.  It was suggested that pre-service EFL teachers’ self-efficacy perceptions should be considered with greater attention in the ELT program at the university and special efforts are required to strengthen seniors’ self-efficacy perceptions.

Teacher Self Efficacy

This research aims to determine the relationship between self-efficacy perceptions and job satisfaction of teachers working in high schools. The universe of the research is composed of the teachers working in high schools in Malatya Battalgazi and Yeşilyurt districts in the fall semester of the academic year 2019-2020. Simple random sampling method has been used for sample selection. In our study, the “Teacher Self-Efficacy Scale” and the short form of the adapted “Minnesota Job Satisfaction Scale” have been used. According to the new results we obtained in our research; teachers' job satisfaction is at a moderate level; self-efficacy perceptions are quite sufficient. There is a moderately significant positive correlation between self-efficacy levels perceived by teachers, self-efficacy levels of student participation, classroom management self-efficacy levels, teaching strategies self-efficacy levels, general job satisfaction levels, internal satisfaction levels and external satisfaction levels.   Keywords: Self-efficacy, Teacher Self-Efficacy, Job Satisfaction, High School Teachers;
