An In-Service Teacher Education Program's Effect on Teacher Efficacy and Attitudes
Carleton, Loran E.; Fitch, Jenelle C.; Krockover, Gerald H.
Educational Forum, v72 n1 p46-62 2008
Changes in teacher efficacy and attitudes toward teaching were examined throughout a teacher education program as teachers worked to integrate new skills into their science curriculum. Correlation coefficients were calculated for the changes. Positive correlation was observed between changes in attitude and self-efficacy. Negative correlation was observed between changes in self-efficacy at the beginning of the school year and changes in self-efficacy at the end of the program. (Contains 3 tables and 3 figures.)
