Assimilation Attitudes Predict Lower Immigration-Related Self-Efficacy among Israeli Immigrant Teachers
Tatar, Moshe; Ben-Uri, Ina; Horenczyk, Gabriel
European Journal of Psychology of Education, v26 n2 p247-255 Jun 2011
This study focuses on self-efficacy among teachers working in culturally diverse educational contexts. We put forward the notion of immigration-related self-efficacy and provide initial support for its relationship with the acculturation attitudes held by immigrant teachers. One hundred thirty-three teachers who immigrated to Israel from the Former Soviet Union participated in this study. We found that teachers tend to report high levels of self-efficacy in all the investigated aspects. According to our predictions, immigrant teachers endorsing more assimilative approaches report lower levels of self-efficacy vis-a-vis their immigrant students. Our results can contribute to a critical discussion on the place and roles of immigrant teachers in schools.
