Two main purposes guided this study. The first was to identify the degree to which Jordanian teachers practise classroom management styles in their classrooms and their level of teacher self-efficacy. The second purpose was to explore the relationships between classroom management styles and teacher self-efficacy. This study is quantitative in nature and was conducted using a survey design. A variety of statistical techniques were utilised in this research. The Pearson product moment correlation coefficient (r), means and standard deviations were used as the main statistical techniques. Findings of this study revealed that Jordanian teachers practise the instructional classroom management style more than the other management styles: behaviour management and people management. However, people management was rated the style least practised by Jordanian teachers. Further, Jordanian teachers who participated in this study perceived themselves to have a higher level of personal teacher efficacy compared to general teacher efficacy. Finally, personal teacher efficacy has the highest and significant relationship with each of the classroom management styles and classroom management styles overall. However, general teacher efficacy was found to be correlated insignificantly with each of the classroom management styles and classroom management styles overall.

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.

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.

Penelitian sebelumnya mengaitkan empati dan self-efficacy dengan kemungkinan guru TK merespon situasi bullying. Akan tetapi belum ada penelitian yang mengaitkan empati dan self-efficacy dengan actual behaviour guru TK di dalam kelas. Maka penelitian ini dilakukan untuk melihat peran empati dan self-efficacy terhadap gaya pengaturan kelas guru TK dalam konteks unjustified aggression. Hal ini dipertimbangkan karena gaya pengaturan kelas kerap dikaitkan dengan perilaku konkrit yang diterapkan oleh guru di dalam kelas. Partisipan dalam penelitian ini adalah 124 guru TK dan preschool, teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan non-probability dan snowball sampling. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan regresi berganda (multiple regression) dan didapatkan bahwa tingkat empati dan self-efficacy guru TK memiliki peran signifikan terhadap gaya pengaturan kelas sebesar 17.5% (F = 14.045, p = 0.00 < 0.05). Hal ini mengindikasikan bahwa tingkat empati dan self-efficacy guru TK dapat memprediksi bagaimana mereka mengelola kelas, yang terlihat dalam perilaku saat mereka menetapkan kontrol serta membangun interaksi dengan siswa. Analisis lebih lanjut dilakukan untuk melihat peran empati dan self-efficacy terhadap masing-masing dimensi dalam gaya pengaturan kelas, yaitu kontrol dan keterlibatan guru. Dari analisis tersebut ditemukan bahwa konstruk empati memiliki peran signifikan terhadap keterlibatan guru, sedangkan konstruk self-efficacy memiliki peran signifikan terhadap disiplin. Previous research linked empathy and self-efficacy to the possibility of kindergarten teachers responding to bullying situations. However, there are no studies that relate empathy and self-efficacy with the actual kindergarten teacher behaviour in the classroom. Therefore this study was conducted to examine the role of empathy and self-efficacy towards the classroom management style of kindergarten teachers in the context of unjustified aggression. This is considered because the style of classroom management is often associated with concrete behaviour that is applied by the teacher in the classroom. Participants were 124 kindergarten and preschool teachers, the sampling technique was non-probability and snowball sampling. Data analysis was performed using multiple regression (multiple regression) and it was found that the level of empathy and self-efficacy of kindergarten teachers had a significant role in the style of classroom management by 17.5% (F = 14,045, p = 0.00 <0.05). This indicates that the level of empathy and self-efficacy of kindergarten teachers can predict how they manage the classroom, which is seen in behavior when they establish controls and build interactions with students. Further analysis was carried out to see the role of empathy and self-efficacy towards each dimension in the style of classroom management, namely teacher control and involvement. From the analysis it was found that the construct of empathy has a significant role on teacher involvement, while the construct of self-efficacy has a significant role on discipline.

Abstract.TEACHER SELF-EFFICACY AND PERSONAL STRENGTHS AND VIRTUES IN TEACHERS FROM DOMINICAN REPUBLIC.The aim of this research it to analyze the relationship between perceived teacher efficacy and personal strengths and virtues. For it, 564 teachers from Dominican Republic took part in the study, 29.6% males and 70.4% females, mean age of 39.72 years (SD = 8.09), and an average teaching experience of 15.67 years (SD = 3.83). Teachers developed their professional activity in 18 provinces of the 32 that integrate Dominican Republic. Three instruments were used for data collection: the Teacher Efficacy Scale (Teacher Efficacy Scale-Short Form), the Teacher Self-Efficacy Scale (Teacher’s Sense of Efficacy Scale-Short Form), and the Personal Strengths Questionnaire VIA (Values in Action Inventory of Strengths: VIA-IS). The psychometric characteristics of the instruments (reliability and validity) were evaluated. The results obtained through the analysis of correlation revealed a positive relationship between the different subscales of the two tests used to evaluate teacher self-efficacy as well as between teacher self-efficacy and the personal strengths and virtues of teachers. The highest correlations were found with the personal strengths of Wisdom and Knowledge, on the one hand, and Humanity, on the other. The need to incorporate in the training, initial and permanent, the work of strengths and personal virtues as the basis of development and personal and professional effectiveness is discussed.Keywords: teacher efficacy, teacher self-efficacy, personal strengths and virtues, Dominican RepublicResumen.El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar la relación entre la percepción de eficacia docente y las fortalezas y virtudes personales en docentes dominicanos. Para ello, participaron 564 docentes de educación infantil y primaria de República Dominicana, 29.6% hombres y 70.4% mujeres, con una edad media de 39.72 años (DT = 8.09) y una media de experiencia profesional de 15.67 años (DT = 3.83). Los docentes desarrollaban su actividad profesional en 18 provincias de las 32 que componen República Dominicana. Se emplearon tres instrumentos de evaluación: la Escala de Eficacia Docente (Teacher Efficacy Scale, Short Form), la Escala de Autoeficacia Docente (Teacher’s Sense of Efficacy Scale-Short Form) y el Cuestionario VIA de Fortalezas Personales (Values in Action Inventory of Strengths: VIA-IS). Se evaluaron las características psicométricas de los instrumentos (fiabilidad y validez). Los resultados obtenidos a través del análisis de correlación pusieron de manifiesto una relación positiva entre las distintas subescalas de las dos pruebas empleadas para evaluar la autoeficacia docente así como entre la autoeficacia docente y las fortalezas y virtudes personales del profesorado. Las correlaciones más altas se encontraron con las fortalezas personales de Sabiduría y conocimiento, por una parte, y Humanidad, por otra. Se discute la necesidad de incorporar en la formación, tanto inicial como permanente, el trabajo de las fortalezas y virtudes personales como base del desarrollo y efectividad personal y profesional.Palabras clave: eficacia docente, autoeficacia docente, fortalezas y virtudes personales, República Dominicana

The three essential elements of an effective instructional environment are the students, the curriculum and the teacher. The teacher, on the other hand is the glue that combines these items. To train qualified teachers, it is important to use methods that employ theory and practice together in teacher education. In order for microteaching, one of these methods, to be more effective, supporting it with online environments such as social networks may be beneficial. In this respect, this study aims to find out the effects of Social Network-Supported Microteaching (SNSM) on self-efficacy and teaching skills of pre-service teachers. The study was conducted using mixed research model. The participants of the research are 17 pre-service teachers from the Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology. Teacher Self-Efficacy Scale (TSES) and Open-Ended Interview Questionnaire (OEIQ) developed by researchers were used for data collection. The SNSM process took place in two stages. Pre-service teachers were asked to respond to Teacher Self-Efficacy Scale prior to SNSM, at the end of the first stage and subsequent to the SNSM. Following SNSM, through the open-ended interview questionnaire, opinions of the pre-service teachers were received and the data on the effect of SNSM on teaching skills were collected. Following the collection of data, quantitative and qualitative data were analysed. Consequently, quantitative results indicated that SNSM increased teacher self-efficacy levels in terms of student engagement, classroom management and teaching methods. Qualitative data was in support of quantitative data, and pre-service teachers have expressly stated that SNSM has improved their teaching skills.Keywords: Microteaching; social network-supported learning; teacher education.
