Hu, Xinyang; Jiang, Yanxia; Bi, Hualin – International Journal of STEM Education, 2022
Background: In many countries and regions, such as the United States, Europe and China, a trend has emerged in which students' enthusiasm for STEM is declining. This decline may be related to students' lack of science self-efficacy. An accurate examination of students' science self-efficacy can provide a research foundation for how to cultivate…

Liu, Yimeng; Wang, Jian – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
The relationship between inquiry-based learning and science self-efficacy was analysed using data from 57 countries and economics participating in the 2015 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). This analysis generated a mediating--moderating model, which involved the mediating role of science interest and the moderating role of…

Huang, Wen – Interactive Learning Environments, 2022
Traditional science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education is sometimes criticized for lacking approaches to present real-world practices and phenomena beyond naked eyes. Head-mounted display virtual reality (HMD VR) provides opportunities to solve this issue. However, little is known about the impact of this approach on…

Walag, Angelo Mark P.; Fajardo, Maria Teresa M.; Bacarrisas, Prosiebeth G.; Guimary, Faith M. – International Journal of Instruction, 2022
Science teacher's self-efficacy has been at the center of many investigations on students' achievement in science, teacher burnout, and teacher performance. While overly studied, this construct has not been examined with scientific literacy in depth. Thus, this study aims to identify the influence of science teacher's scientific literacy on their…

Naidoo, Kara; Naidoo, Loren J. – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: Teacher self-efficacy beliefs are known to be a predictor of future teaching practices and are related to teacher effectiveness and student learning. Science teaching self-efficacy beliefs are especially important in elementary school teacher preparation where candidates are traditionally less confident and interested in science.…

Heiss, Raffael; Schmuck, Desirée; Matthes, Jörg; Eicher, Carolin – SAGE Open, 2021
Citizen science research has been rapidly expanding in the past years and has become a popular approach in youth education. We investigated key drivers of youth participation in a citizen social science school project and the effects of participation on scientific and topic-related (i.e., political) interest and efficacy. Findings suggest that…

Loach, Karin A. – Journal of Research in Education, 2021
The purpose of this research was to assess individual elementary teachers' science teaching efficacy utilizing a mixed-methods, exploratory, concurrent case study design and to identify factors which contribute to the growth and development of teaching efficacy of teachers at Apex Elementary School (a pseudonym). The overarching question guiding…

Larry, Triaka; Wendt, Jillian L. – Learning Environments Research, 2022
We examined the predictive relationship between high school students' gender, ethnicity, science self-efficacy as measured by the Science Self-Efficacy Questionnaire composite score, teacher interpersonal behaviors (TIP) as measured by the Questionnaire on Teacher Interaction (QTI) scale scores, and science grade point average in an urban Title I…

Kinskey, Melanie; Callahan, Brendan E. – Research in Science Education, 2022
Two common reasons elementary preservice teachers have low self-efficacy with science teaching is their lack of content knowledge and past negative experiences with science teaching or learning. Holding low self-efficacy beliefs has negative impacts on both the method of science instruction and amount of science instruction delivered in the…

Shaukat, Sadia; Vishnumolakala, Venkat Rao; Alghamdi, Amani K. Hamdan – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2020
This study sought to explore the science efficacy beliefs of in-service teachers from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) (n = 226), Pakistan (n = 130), and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) (n = 99) by administering the Science Teaching Efficacy Belief Instrument (STEBI-B) in a cross-sectional survey research design. A comparison of the three datasets…

Sahin, Adam; Wright, Kimberly B.; Waxman, Hersh C. – International Journal of Science Education, 2023
The purpose of this study is to investigate how Harmony Public Schools' (HPS) ' Class of 2024 high school students' current selves (high school experience, math and science efficacy, parent, and teacher expectations) affect to possible future selves (i.e. choosing a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics [STEM]-major in college). 1464…

McBride, Eileen; Oswald, W. Wyatt; Beck, Lindsey A.; Vashlishan Murray, Amy – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2020
Research in science education confirms the importance of self-efficacy in students' persistence and success in the sciences. The current study examined the role of science self-efficacy in nonspecialist, arts and communication-oriented students encountering science in a general education context. Participants (N = 275) completed a beginning- and…

Miles, Jeffrey A.; Naumann, Stefanie E. – International Journal of Science Education, 2021
Historically women have been underrepresented in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Some scholars have suggested that science self-concept perceptions have contributed to this gender gap. We propose and empirically examine a model of the relationships between gender, sexual orientation, science self-efficacy,…

Sarah Carroll; Veronica McCauley; Muriel Grenon – International Journal of Science Education, 2024
This exploratory study aimed to assess the strength of primary school students' (aged 11-12 years old) Science Self-Efficacy (SSE) beliefs, identify emanating sources, and investigate any gender-related differences. School SSE is defined here as perceived capacity to complete learning outcomes from the upper Irish primary science curriculum. The…
