These students are those who attend the special teaching methods class in a 14 week period between February and June.

Validity and reliability study was repeated by the scale researcher in 2012-2013 teaching year and applied on 652 pre-service teachers. Cronbach Alpha Reliability Coefficient is calculated for the general scale was 0.85. Teacher Self-Efficacy Scale, a 5 point Likert scale consisting 29 items is calculated as follows: teaching efficacy subscale coefficient of 0.94, teacher impact subscale of 0.69, student impact subscale of 0.60.

The findings of research revealed that the primary school social studies pre-service teachers scored over the average in their general self-efficacy pretest, also, special teaching methods class did not lead to a significant difference on their general teacher self-efficacy perception and there was a significant difference only in student impact sub-scale basis.
