Examining the Factor Structure of the Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy Scale

Teachers Self Efficacy: Is Reporting Non-Significant Results Essential?

“…These findings are consistent with Day and GU's findings that experienced teachers were motivated and took responsibility in their career. Gorrell and Dharmadasa (as cited in Fives & Buehl, 2010) reported that teachers with more experience have a high efficacy regarding classroom management Tschannen-Moran and Woolfolk Hoy (2007) reported the same findings.…”

When early childhood teachers close the door: Self-reported fidelity to a mandated curriculum and teacher beliefs

“…That more experienced early childhood teachers stated practicing the curriculum more frequently particularly concerning learning process might be meaningful given the positive correlation established between teachers' years of experience and their self-efficacy beliefs (Fives & Buehl, 2010;Klassen & Chiu, 2010;Tschannen-Moran & Woolfolk Hoy, 2007). As teachers with higher years of experience may have a greater chance to improve their sense of efficacy in teaching by means of mastery experiences, vicarious experiences, and verbal persuasions (Bandura, 1997), they might in turn be more able to implement the curriculum.…”

Personality and Motivation: Replication, Extension, and Replication

“…Twelve items measured selfperceptions of effective classroom management and pedagogical ability (e.g., "How much can you do to motivate students who show low interest in school work?"). Only a single factor is computed with this scale for preservice teachers as noted in Fives and Buehl (2010). All items came from the Teachers' Sense of Efficacy Scale (Fives & Buehl, 2010), which was based on the work of Tschannen-Moran and Woolfolk-Hoy (2001).…”

“…All items came from the Teachers' Sense of Efficacy Scale (Fives & Buehl, 2010), which was based on the work of Tschannen-Moran and Woolfolk-Hoy (2001). Prior work validates the Teachers' Sense of Efficacy as an accurate measurement of teacher efficacy (Fives & Buehl, 2010;Tschannen-Moran & WoolfolkHoy, 2001). …”
