On the other hand, it was concluded that there was no significant difference according to gender variable. While teachers' self-efficacy beliefs differed significantly according to gender, professional seniority; It was concluded that there was no significant difference between marital status, educational status and service duration variables in the institution. ​Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file.   Özet Bu araştırma, sınıf öğretmenlerinin karşılaştıkları istenmeyen öğrenci davranışlarına karşı kullandıkları baş etme yöntemleri ile öz yeterlilik algıları arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırma ilişkisel tarama modelinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmanın evrenini, 2018-2019 eğitim-öğretim yılında, Samsun ili merkez ilçelerindeki ilkokullarda görev yapan 1481 sınıf öğretmeni oluşturmaktadır Araştırmanın örneklemini ise evren içerisinden rastgele örnekleme yöntemiyle seçilmiş olan 528 sınıf öğretmeninden meydana gelmektedir. Araştırmada veri toplama amacıyla Keleş (2015) tarafından geliştirilen “Okul Öncesi Öğretmenlerinin Sınıf Yönetiminde İstenmeyen Davranışlara Karşı Kullandığı Stratejileri Belirleme Ölçeği” ve Türkçe için geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışması Çapa, Çakıroğlu ve Sarıkaya  (2005)  tarafından yapılan  “Öğretmen Öz Yeterlilik Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. İstatistiksel çözümlemelerde “SPSS 24.0 for Windows” paket programı kullanılmıştır. Araştırma verilerinin analizinde betimsel istatistikler, Mann-Whitney-U testi ve Kruskal Wallis testi ile korelasyon analizleri kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, sınıf öğretmenlerinin istenmeyen davranışlarla  orta  düzeyde başettikleri, öz yeterlilik inanç boyutu bakımından ise öğretmenler kendilerini “oldukça” düzeyinde başarılı görmüşlerdir. Ayrıca öz yeterliliği yüksek olan öğretmenlerin istenmeyen davranışlarla baş etmede en çok gerçeklik terapisi/kontrol modelini kullandıkları, en az ise güvengen disiplin modelini ve sosyal disiplin modelini kullandıkları belirlenmiştir. Dolayısıyla sınıf öğretmenlerinin istenmeyen davranışlarla baş etmede kullandıkları yöntemler ile öz yeterlilik inançları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu görülmüştür. Öğretmenlerin istenmeyen davranışlarla baş etmede kullandıkları yöntemler; medeni durum, eğitim durumu, mesleki kıdem ve kurumdaki hizmet süresine göre anlamlı farklılık gösterirken; cinsiyet değişkenine göre anlamlı bir farklılık göstermediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Öğretmenlerin öz yeterlilik inançları; cinsiyet, mesleki kıdeme göre anlamlı farklılık gösterirken; medeni durum, eğitim durumu ve kurumdaki hizmet süresi değişkenlerine göre anlamlı bir farklılık göstermediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

This study was conducted to examine the relationship between the levels of prospective preschool teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs in science education and learning styles. In this study, the correlational survey model was used. The sample of the research was composed of 193 (165 females, 28 males) prospective pre-school teachers studying in their first, second, third, and fourth year in a faculty of education of a state university located in the Black Sea in Turkey. Data were collected using the ‘Science Education Self-Efficacy Belief Scale’ developed by Riggs and Enochs (1990) and adapted into Turkish by Özkan et al. (2002) and ‘Kolb Learning Style Inventory’ developed by Kolb (1984) and adapted into Turkish by Evin Gencel (2007) in the spring semester of the 2019-2020 academic year. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used in the statistical calculations of the data in the study. As a result of the study, it was determined that these prospective pre-school teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs in science education were very high while their personal self-efficacy beliefs and result expectation sub-dimensions were at a high level. In addition, there is no statistically significant difference between prospective teachers' self-efficacy beliefs in science education, personal self-efficacy perception, and result expectation according to their learning styles. Based on the results obtained, to increase the success of prospective teachers in science and achieve desired goals in education, learning environments should be designed according to learning styles, and studies should be conducted to increase the quality of science education by making use of self-efficacy beliefs.

This study investigated primary school teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs regarding online teaching during the Covid-19 pandemic and whether it determines any significant differences in self-efficacy levels based on different demographic data. A quantitative and qualitative survey method was employed. The data was collected from primary school teachers in Qatar public schools using a web-based survey that assessed self-efficacy in three areas: Students Engagement, Classroom Management, and Instructional Strategies. Four open-ended questions were included in determining the challenges faced by teachers, coping strategies, and the support needed and received. A total of 514 teachers voluntarily completed the survey. The results showed that elementary school teachers actively reported self-efficacy beliefs in online teaching. T-test and ANOVA analysis revealed significant differences between primary school teachers’ self-efficacy and years of experience in the three fields. However, no significant differences were found between self-efficacy, gender, and age in the area. Results indicated that the more years of experience teachers have, the more self-efficacy they perceive. The open-ended questions’ results showed that unmotivated students were the most frustrating challenge primary teachers faced in online teaching. Therefore, contacting parents was highly prioritized by teachers for coping with this challenge. Besides, professional training was the main support received, but more practical and interactive workshops are still needed. This research can provide educators with insights on implementing technology effectively in their online classrooms and adapting to challenging times to achieve a smooth and effective learning process.

We examined a training program in classroom management in relation to the efficacy beliefs of elementary school teachers. The training program used a quasi-experimental design with a waitlist control group. Twenty-seven elementary school teachers in the greater Quebec City area participated. The repeated measures ANOVA results revealed positive effect of the program on teachers’ personal teaching efficacy beliefs, and in the teachers’ perceived self-efficacy in managing difficult behaviours in the classroom. A group by time interaction effect was also observed with regard to the teachers’ perceived self-efficacy in eliciting principals’ support where participating teachers were more confident in their interactions with principals at follow-up. Factors that influence the development of self-efficacy beliefs of teachers and implications for practice are discussed.
