Teacher’s self-efficacy is a specific phenomenon that can be seen as one of the contributors to the process of learning and effective teaching. Teacher self-efficacy was investigated at two Senior High Schools (SMAN 1 and SMAN 2) in Kendari, and proved its importance in the interest-based classes at senior high schools in Kendari. Findings revealed two major methods employed in the research study: 1) interviews conducted in the form of an open interview with 5 teachers; and 2) observation was focused on teachers teaching materials, classroom management, as well as the enthusiasm of the teacher during the learning process takes place. Based on the finding, this study argues that teachers have high confidence in their ability to teach literature because they ascribe high value to their performance. However, the self-efficacy of teachers did not have an impact when applied in practice. In the classroom observation, these elements generally did not show up. This shows that the dependence of teachers on textbooks is not accompanied by an increase in the ability of teachers to ask questions to the students during the learning process, so that the high self-efficacy of teachers does not produce learning achievement is high. This goal can be achieved by giving more opportunities and experiences for teachers to improve the quality of learning.

Introduction: Self-efficacy plays a major role in the behaviour of a human being by how he/she approaches a goal, task or a challenge so that a desired level of performance is produced. The objective of this paper is to review and analyse literature on self-efficacy and clinical performance among professional nurses regarding quality of care in implementation of NIMART programme. Methodology: A literature review was conducted using online resources. Search engines included EBSCO, Google Scholar, Medline, PubMed, Psych info and BIOMED Central articles and journals published between 2007 and 2017. Relevant papers on self-efficacy and clinical performance regarding the implementation of NIMART programme in South Africa were analysed. Results: 278 papers were identified and 22 eligible papers were selected for analysis. Reviewed literature exhibited that self-efficacy is very crucial in the clinical performance of nurses in the implementation of NIMART. Self-efficacy helps to predict motivation and performance of individuals. Lack of mentoring, support and exposure to clinical practice had negative effect on nurse’s self-efficacy. Conclusion: Given the paucity of information on self-efficacy and clinical performance of NIMART in the South African context, future studies are warranted to gain more understanding of self-efficacy in the clinical performance of professional nurses.

As estratégias utilizadas pelos professores, em sala de aula, podem colaborar para a qualidade do ensino ofertado. Nesse sentido, a pesquisa buscou entender quais estratégias os professores de uma escola pública, localizada no município de Londrina, Paraná, consideram mais eficazes e a frequência com que as praticam. Para isso, tais professores responderam a um instrumento de pesquisa, no qual deveriam se posicionar quanto a sua prática em sala de aula. O diferencial desse estudo, contudo, está no fato de que tanto a confecção do instrumento de pesquisa, como sua aplicação e análise, foram realizadas por alunos de um projeto de Iniciação Científica Júnior, matriculados na mesma escola, em que lecionam os professores participantes. Trata-se, portanto, de dois projetos que correram simultaneamente: um projeto de pesquisa e um projeto de extensão. Quanto à participação dos alunos no projeto, houve significativa evasão. Dos catorze que iniciaram, apenas três concluíram as atividades. Acredita-se que essa evasão tenha relação com a necessidade de leituras e discussões teóricas, em um cenário em que os alunosacreditam que a pesquisa se baseia, novamente, em atividades práticas e, portanto, mais dinâmicas. Quanto aos dados coletados no instrumento de pesquisa, pode-se perceber que existe um otimismo dos professores em relação às estratégias empregadas em sala de aula.Palavras-chave: Ensino. Autoeficácia. Iniciação Científica. Gestão da Sala de AulaAbstractStrategies used by classroom teachers can contribute to the quality of offered teaching. In this sense, this research aimed to understand what strategies teachers from a public school located in the city of Londrina, Paraná, consider more effective and the frequency they practice the same. For this, the teachers answered a research instrument, in which they had to state their position on the matter of their practice in the classroom. The differential of this study, however, lies in the fact that both in the research instrument design and its application and analysis were carried out by students of a Junior Scientific Initiation project enrolled in the same school as the participating teachers. They are, therefore, two projects that ran simultaneously: a research project and an extension project. As for the participation of students in the project, there was significant dropout. Of the fourteen who started, only three concluded the activities. It is believed that this evasion is related to the need for reading and theoretical discussions, in a scenario in which students believe that it is a practical, and therefore more dynamic, research. As for data collected in the research instrument, one can see that there is an optimism of teachers in relation to the strategies used in the classroom.Keywords: Teaching. Self-Efficacy.

Nursing handover facilitates the continuity of nursing and ensures patient safety and quality of care. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a handover education program by assessing handover knowledge, self-efficacy, and handover performance competency. A group pretest–post-test quasi-experimental design was used. Thirty 4th-year Korean nursing students participated in a handover education program comprising a lecture and simulation training using a high-fidelity simulator. The average level of handover knowledge was 4.63 ± 1.61 before the program and 5.83 ± 0.95 after (t = −3.71, p = 0.001). Meanwhile, the average self-efficacy score was 3.35 ± 0.57 before the program and 3.90 ± 0.60 after (t = −5.65, p < 0.001). Further, the average handover performance competency was 1.75 ± 0.25 before the program and 2.37 ± 0.21 after (t = −12.08, p < 0.001). The simulation-based handover education intervention was effective in improving knowledge, self-efficacy, and performance competency of nursing students. This intervention can provide an effective method of improving nursing students’ handover skills prior to entering clinical practice.

The curriculum 2013  is one of the policies of the Indonesian government in improving the quality of human resources through education  that is adjusted  to the needs of the community. Changes in the learning process in the  curriculum 2013 have an impact on the readiness of teachers to implement it.

Teacher turnover is an issue plaguing states and districts around the country, particularly among novice teachers. Research indicates that strong induction and mentoring programs can provide novice teachers with critical support and guidance as they make the transition from the pre-service environment to the professional workforce resulting in higher levels of self-efficacy and performance. Teachers with high self-efficacy exhibit more enthusiasm and persistence and higher levels of organizational commitment. While there is a considerable amount of research on traditional, face-to-face new teacher induction (NTI) programs, there are few studies that investigate the integration of technology for a virtual experience. This study sought to explore quantitative measures of teachers' self-efficacy and the perceptions of novice teachers engaging in virtual mentoring in the context of a NTI program. Results of the survey indicate that participants (n = 67) reported a moderate degree of confidence in their ability to satisfactorily accomplish tasks within their classrooms. The scale is comprised of three subscales: Student Engagement, Instructional Strategies, and Classroom Management. The participants indicated a higher self-efficacy in Classroom Management than in any of the other subscales. Several themes emerged from the qualitative data highlighting the importance of the frequency, quality, and content of teachers' interactions with their mentors. This study contributes to the existing literature on virtual mentoring and explores how the experience can provide teachers with an opportunity to cultivate self-efficacy.

This action research study aims to analyse the ways in which vicarious learning, one of the sources of self-efficacy beliefs according to Social Cognitive Theory, can materialise in the translation classroom. To achieve this aim, a mixed methodological approach was adopted based on the following techniques: the interview, the survey, classroom observation and focus groups. Results show that vicarious learning took place in the translation classroom where this study was performed both through the students’ comparison with professional translators and between peers. More particularly, a collaborative learning environment and practices such as the presentation of translation projects by the students, role-plays or discovering the careers of previous graduates favoured vicarious learning and thus positively influenced the participant students’ self-efficacy beliefs, according to their perception. The results obtained contribute to shedding light on some ways to incorporate students’ self-efficacy beliefs in translator education, satisfying the need underlined by several authors.
