“…Philosophers and educationists have been suggesting several core objectives of education throughout the history. These objectives mostly include discovering truth, forming positive attitudes, developing a desired personality, enhancing intellect, realizing one's potentials, being able for judgment and action, getting wise and respectful learning, being able to practice knowledge in practical situations, bringing positive change in life, developing hope for future, being able to help others, achieving the physical and spiritual goals of life, getting ready for social roles, preserving the already established customs, abolishing social evils, ensuring progress in the economy, establishing public goods, bringing a positive change in the society, and refining the society (Beckett, 2013;Eisele, 1980;Horne, 1912;Imamuddin et al, 2020;Moran, 2018;Thangeda et al, 2016;Yogi, 2008).…”

The true spirit of education involves psychosocial grooming and character building of learners. Teacher's efficacy plays a vital role in achieving educational objectives. The effectiveness of teachers is usually evaluated through the academic grades of their students. Teacher's efficacy, however, is originally the ability of a teacher to improve the cognitive functioning and humanistic values of students. The current study developed and validated a new scale entitled the Qualiquant Teacher's Efficacy Scale (QTES) by involving 147 teachers and 59 students. The sample was selected thru a mixed method that involved convenient and purposive sampling techniques. QTES reflected strong validity and excellent reliability thru exploratory factor analysis, Cronbach's alpha, item-scale, and item-total correlations. QTES is a unique measure for teacher's efficacy because it defines teacher's efficacy through cognitive functioning and humanistic values, offers two parallel and separate versions for teachers and students, and quantifies the qualitative data.

In Teachers' Workplace, Rosenholtz presents evidence suggesting that teachers' attitudes and behaviors are direct results of the social organization of their workplace. She describes low- consensus schools, where the many uncertainties in classroom teaching lead to isolation and pluralism, and high-consensus schools, where teachers solve problems collaboratively and, in the process, define common goals and desirable teaching methods. In The Professors of Teaching, education faculty emerge as a highly fragmented, pluralistic group, strikingly similar to the teachers Rosenholtz describes in low-consensus schools. Although some degree of pluralism is inherent in the nature of the professoriate, teacher education as a professional field may be unique in its extreme ill-structuredness. Teacher educators, like K-12 teachers in low-consensus schools, may be driven by the uncertainties of their work to the same coping mechanisms: isola tion and self-defensiveness. The task of restructuring teacher education appears to entail trans forming colleges of education into high-consensus schools. The deeply problematic nature of such a transformation is discussed.
