“…This instrument measured the two constructs of self-efficacy on a 5-point Likert scale (Burns, 2000). These constructs are Personal Science Teaching Efficacy Belief (PSTE), measuring participants' belief in their own ability to teach science effectively (Deehan et al, 2017) and Science Teaching Outcome Expectancy (STOE), measuring the participants' broad view of how the teaching of science impacts the pupils' level of learning (Enochs & Riggs, 1990). In the broader study (Norris, 2017), a Pearson's correlation coefficient found there to be a small interaction between the two self-efficacy constructs of STOE and PSTE (r = .260, N = 272, p < .001) indicating these latent constructs act largely independent from each other.…”
