The purpose of this study is to determine the role of teacher self-efficacy as a mediator in the relationship between teaching practice and job satisfaction. To succeed in this aim, the correlational model was used in the current study. The research group of this study includes 1243 Turkish science teachers who participated in the Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) 2018. ‘‘ Teaching Practice Scale ’’, ‘‘Teacher Self-efficacy Scale’’ and ‘‘Job Satisfaction Scale’’ were used to collect data. The predictive and mediating relationship between teaching practice (clarity of instruction, cognitive activation, and classroom management), teacher self-efficacy, and job satisfaction were analyzed by Structural Equation Model (SEM). The simple mediation model was used in SEM. In this study, several models were examined. The result of the study revealed that teaching practice has a positive effect on job satisfaction and teacher self-efficacy has a positive effect on job satisfaction. Furthermore, teacher self-efficacy is a mediator for teaching practice variables to explain job satisfaction. Because there has been little research on the relationship between teaching practice, job satisfaction, and teacher self-efficacy for a Turkish sample, it is predicted that this study will throw light on future studies focused on these variables.

The Perceived Autonomy of Teachers in Elementary Education
Taneri, Pervin Oya (null; 2011-06-25)
The main aims of the paper are to examine the perceptions of elementary school teachers about teacher autonomy and to discover whether these perceptions differ in relation to variables such as the teachers’ gender and age, teaching practice, branch, and city in which they work. The professional achievements and classroom behaviors of teachers are influenced by their perception of autonomy. The teachers face some constraints posed by school administration, colleagues, and supervisors during their instruction...
The Impact of Experiences on Preservice Science Teachers' Self-Efficacy in Teaching Science Concepts in the Context of Socioscientific Issues
Bostancı, Burcu; Yılmaz Tüzün, Özgül (2022-9-01)
This study aims to explore the impact of experiences on preservice science teachers' self-efficacy in teaching science concepts in the context of socioscientific issues (SSI). The research employed a mixed-method design, where qualitative data were collected to supplement quantitative findings. The SSI-related self-efficacy beliefs scale and semi-structured interviews were used to collect data from 38 senior preservice science teachers pursuing their education in a public university in Turkey. The findings ...
Investigating predictors of sense of efficacy beliefs of classroom science and mathematics teachers
GÜR, GÜLBİR; Çakıroğlu, Jale; Çapa Aydın, Yeşim (2012-10-01)
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. Res...
The nature of the relationship between teaching concerns and sense of efficacy
Boz, Yezdan (2010-01-01)
This study examined the relationship between prospective teachers' concerns about their teaching and their beliefs about their sense of efficacy. Three hundred and thirty-nine prospective teachers participated in this study. Two instruments, the 'Teaching Concerns Checklist' and the 'Teachers' Sense of Efficacy Beliefs Scale', were used to elicit the participants' teaching concerns and their sense of efficacy. Canonical correlation analysis, conducted to explore the relationships between these two construct...
A STUDY ON SOURCES AND CONSEQUENCE OF SCIENCE TEACHERS’ SELF-EFFICACY
Pehlivan, Merve; Sungur, Semra; Sungur, Semra; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2022-2-11)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between sources and the consequence of science teachers’ self-efficacy. Science teachers’ self-efficacy was measured in terms of self-efficacy for student engagement, classroom management, and instructional strategies. As sources of self-efficacy Bandura’s hypothesized sources (i.e. mastery experience, vicarious experience, verbal persuasion, and physiological and emotional states), years of experience, implicit beliefs of science ability, and jo...
