Purpose: We aimed to explore and compare generalist and physical education (PE) specialist (males and females) elementary teachers’ self-efficacy to teach and the barriers perceived when teaching PE. Methods: Canadian elementary school teachers completed the validated online survey, Teacher Efficacy Scale in PE, with 11 additional questions examining the perceived strength of barriers related to teaching quality PE. Results: Specialist teachers’ self-efficacy (n = 296) was significantly higher (p < .05) than that of generalist teachers (n = 818). Gender was found to predict teachers’ self-efficacy, with female generalists reporting the lowest scores on the Teacher Efficacy Scale in PE. There was a statistically significant difference between the perceived strength of nine out of the 11 listed barriers, with generalist teachers reporting barriers as more inhibitory than specialists. Discussion/Conclusion: This study highlights the gap between generalists’ and specialists’ self-efficacy to teach and the perceived barriers when teaching PE. Efforts specifically targeted to supporting female generalists teaching PE are necessary.

The aim of the article is the theoretical justification of the task-based approach as a methodological basis for the formation of future elementary school teachers' readiness to design the learning environment. The research methodology includes the analysis of regulatory documents, psychological and pedagogical literature and scientific research to determine the essence of the task-based approach and its implementation features in the formation of future elementary school teachers' readiness to design the learning environment. Distinguishing between the stages of preparing future elementary school teachers for designing learning environments and their purpose influenced the development of a specialized task system and practical problems which can be divided into three groups: adaptive, stabilizing, specialized. When selecting and developing specialized tasks and practical problems have been acted according to the following algorithm: assignment of a task or practical problem (adaptation, stabilization, specialization) determination of expected results in accordance with the components of readiness and the predominant choice; evaluation of the content complexity on the B. Bloom's scale.

The purpose of the current study was to investigate prospective elementary school teachers’ visual mathematics literacy self-efficacy perceptions according to grade level, gender and the ability to draw geometric objects on isometric dot paper. The data were collected from 201 prospective elementary school teachers enrolled in the elementary school teaching department of a state university in the Western Black Sea Region. There were 86 freshman and 115 senior prospective elementary teachers. 149 of the participants were female and 52 of them were prospective male teachers.

In the current study, survey model that is one of the quantitative research methods was used and the study has a descriptive nature. The data of the study were collected by “Visual Mathematical Literacy Self-Efficacy Belief Instrument” consisting of 37 items developed by Bekdemir and Duran (2012) and “Drawing Geometric Objects on Isometric Dot Paper Scale” consisting of four items developed by the researcher. In data analysis, “mean”, “percentage”, “frequency”, “two way ANOVA” and “one way ANOVA” were used. The ability to draw geometric objects on isometric dot paper of prospective elementary school teachers analyzed into three categories as good, intermediate and weak. Prospective teachers who could draw all of the geometric objects given in the scale correctly on isometric dot paper were classified as good. Prospective teachers who could make the correct drawing of three or two geometric objects were classified as intermediate, and prospective teachers who could make the correct drawing of one geometric object or could not draw correctly any of the objects were classified as weak. As a result of data analysis, it could be said that prospective teachers saw themselves at a reasonable level regarding visual mathematics literacy. Moreover, the results revealed that there was a statistically significant difference the mean scores of prospective teachers in terms of grade level and the ability to draw geometric objects on isometric dot paper but there was not any statistically significant difference in the self-efficacy scores of prospective teachers according to gender
