Teacher Self-Efficacy: Validating a New Measurement Scale to Capture the Elusive Construct
Stuart Woodcock1; Nelly Tournaki2; John Ehrich3
British Educational Research Journal, v51 n5 p2229-2255 2025
Teachers' beliefs in their ability to positively impact students' learning outcomes has become a strong indicator of teachers' motivation and behaviour towards the instructional strategies they employ. However, measuring the broader concept of teacher self-efficacy is still somewhat problematic as current scales are dated, have measurement problems, and are not theoretically sound. This paper proposes a new theoretically and rigorously developed scale of teacher self-efficacy that meets current teaching standards and is validated and tested through two phases. This new teacher self-efficacy scale will hopefully greatly facilitate and advance this elusive theoretical construct.
