The purpose of this study was to examine the predictors of teachers' sense of efficacy. Data were collected from 383 science, mathematics, and classroom teachers using Teachers' Sense of Efficacy Scale and additional items for assessing predictors including gender, teaching field, years of teaching experience, satisfaction with performance, support from colleagues, support from parents, support from administration, and teaching resources. Data were analyzed by utilizing hierarchical regression analysis. Results showed that satisfaction with performance made significant contribution to the efficacy of instructional strategies, efficacy of classroom management, and efficacy of student engagement, whereas gender, teaching field, and years of teaching experience variables were not significant predictors of any of the dependent variables. Parental support and teaching resources predicted the efficacy of student engagement only.

Investigation of middle school mathematics teacher emotions and their students’ mathematics achievement emotions: a mixed-methods study Çalık, Başak; Çapa Aydın, Yeşim; Department of Curriculum and Instruction (2021-1-01) The purpose of the study was three-fold. First, the study aimed to investigate the relationship between mathematics teachers’ emotions, self-efficacy, and burnout. Second, it was aimed to examine the relationship between mathematics teachers’ emotions and their students’ mathematics self-efficacy, perceived teaching quality, perceived teacher affective support, and mathematics achievement emotions. Third, the reasons for and relevant processes behind students’ emotions were uncovered by considering the lear...
Predicting Critical Thinking Skills of University Students through Metacognitive Self-Regulation Skills and Chemistry Self-Efficacy Kondakçı, Esen (2013-12-01) This study aimed at examining the extent to which metacognitive self-regulation and chemistry self-efficacy predicted critical thinking. Three hundred sixty-five university students participated in the study. Data were collected using appropriate dimensions of Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire and College Chemistry Self-Efficacy Scale. Cronbach's alpha coefficients ranged from .77 to .88. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Results indicated that metacognitive self-regulatio...
Analyzing collective efficacy of preservice science teachers in science methods course Atasoy, Volkan; Çakıroğlu, Jale; Department of Educational Sciences (2016) This study was aimed to examine preservice teachers who work in the same group in terms of collective efficacy. The participants of this study were four preservice science teachers in third year of science teacher education program. This study was conducted in science methods course. In this course, the participants as a group were expected to prepare lesson plans according to newly learned science teaching methods during a semester. Interviews, observation, preservice teachers’ critique papers, lesson plan...
Investigating Sources of Pre Service Teachers Self Efficacy For Preparing And Implementing Mathematical Tasks YÜREKLİ, BİLGE; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç (2015-02-04) The goal of this study was to understand pre-service teachers' self-efficacy beliefs for preparing and implementing mathematical tasks and to explore which sources of self-efficacy they wighted and interpreted when judging their capabilities as a result of attending a mathematics teaching methods course designed with a focus on mathematics teaching through tasks. Nine pre-service teachers participated in this study and they were interviewed at the end of the methods course. Findings revealed that methods co...
Middle School Students' Science Self-Efficacy and Its Sources: Examination of Gender Difference Kiran, Dekant; Sungur, Semra (2012-10-01) The main purpose of the present study is to investigate middle school students' science self-efficacy as well as its sources and outcomes as a function of gender. Bandura's hypothesized sources of self-efficacy (i.e., mastery experience, vicarious experience, verbal persuasion, and emotional arousal) in addition to being inviting with self and inviting with others were examined as sources of self-efficacy, while cognitive and metacognitive strategy use was examined as an outcome of self-efficacy. A total of...
