Goal structures and teachers' sense of efficacy: Their relation and association to teaching experience and academic level.

Wolters, Christopher A., Daugherty, Stacy G.·2007·Journal of Educational Psychology

Abstract

Goal structures reflect the motivational beliefs promoted by the prevailing instructional policies and procedures within an academic setting. Teachers ’ sense of efficacy refers to individuals ’ judgments or beliefs regarding their ability to accomplish critical instructional tasks. The relation between these constructs and differences on the basis of teaching experience and academic level were investigated. Teachers (N 1,024) completed a self-report instrument via the Internet. Results indicated that teachers’ sense of efficacy could be used to explain the classroom mastery goal structure they reported. Also, some aspects of teachers ’ sense of efficacy were greater for those with more teaching experience, whereas differences in goal structures were associated with academic level. Findings are discussed with regard to their implications for both theory and teacher training.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
