<p>Character education is deemed as an essential aspect to be disseminated
to the students in enabling them to be prepared to face real-world society. It can
be incorporated into formal education with the support of school staff,
teachers, and parents. Hence, this study investigates the relationship between teachers'
efficacy, knowledge, and professional development in implementing character
education. Using a quantitative correlational approach, data was obtained from 384 secondary school
teachers on character education efficacy belief, character education knowledge,
belief and practice instrument, and character education professional
development. The data was analysed using multiple linear regression analysis
scales. The findings postulated that teacher’s professional development and
knowledge were able to predict the implementation of character education while
efficacy was deemed an insignificant variable. Therefore, understanding the
relationships between the factors is essential to train future teachers for
character education. In conclusion, the findings from this study are expected to
benefit the Ministry of Education, school administrations, teachers, and the
community in identifying ways to enhance the implementation of character education.<b></b></p>
