Teaching self-efficacy of science teachers

Ron Blonder, Naama Benny, M. Gail Jones

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Whether one examines teachers' effectiveness from the perspective of a legislator, parent, principal, or student, the main goal is to prepare teachers who have a strong knowledge base related to science, knowledge of effective teaching strategies, the ability to teach, and a desire to make a difference in the lives of their students. The underlying construct that influences each of these factors is teachers' self-efficacy.
