Changes in the Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) Self-Efficacy of Pre-Service Physics Teachers: Redefining the Role of Influencing Factors

Abstract

Self-efficacy intervention in curriculum design is an effort to improve the quality of teaching practice for pre-service teachers. This research aims to redefine how pre-service teachers' self-efficacy changes through Physics Learning and Microteaching courses. Interventions are given by designing lectures with mastery of knowledge, guidance, teaching experience, and reflection on teaching experience. The intervention carried out 32 meetings (with a total of 67 hours) in 1 semester. The data collection techniques used a questionnaire consisting of 18 statements and reasons for giving the score through pre-test, mid-test, and post-test. The participants were 51 students in teacher education institutions in Indonesia. The results show that integrating activities such as delivering information about PCK, guidance, and their experience in teaching increased their self-efficacy. Still, their self-efficacy decreased after the teaching experience and reflection on their experience. These results recommend that teaching practice reflection activities should not be the last resort in improving students' self-efficacy. Providing information, guidance, teaching practice, and reflection should become an iterative process, where self-reflection notes as a tool to enhance their performance deficiencies and self-efficacy can be improved

Self-Efficacy of PCK: An Exploration of Indonesian Prospective Physics Teacher Perspectives

“…Categorization is divided into five groups adapted from (Haryanto et al, 2023), as shown in Table 2.…”

“…It is better if efforts increase prospective teachers' self-efficacy (Boz & Cetin-Dindar, 2021). Selfefficacy interventions in the curriculum can be carried out to improve the quality of future teacher-teaching practices (Haryanto et al, 2023). Self-efficacy in teaching science has a positive relationship with attitudes toward teaching science (Ecevit & Kıngır, 2022).…”

Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) Guru Biologi SMA Se-Kartasura dalam Menyusun Modul Ajar

“…Guru mengharuskan mampu dan paham dengan pilihan model pembelajaran yang sesuai dengan keadaan siswa serta fasilitas yang ada agar pemahaman dalam pembelajaran meningkat. Sejalan dengan penelitian Obizoba (2015) dan Alberida (2023), guru diharapkan mampu menetapkan model pembelajaran yang sesuai guna mengoptimalkan hasil belajar dan motivasi siswa serta pemahaman guru dengan pemilihan model yang tepat saat pembelajaran di sekolah.…”

Physics Teachers’ Self-Efficacy, Innovative Teaching and Comprehensive Teaching Approach: Latent Profile Analysis

“…Of these, 107 participants provided complete responses, which were subsequently utilized. The pilot study aimed to secure a minimum sample size of 100 participants, as suggested by Hair et al (2010). Notably, no demographic data related to the participants was collected during the validity and reliability assessment of the scale.…”
