The current study examined elementary (or primary) school teachers' knowledge of student anxiety and evidence-based anxiety reduction strategies, whether this knowledge was associated with their use of evidence-based anxiety reduction strategies in the classroom, and correlates of teacher knowledge and use of anxiety reduction strategies in the…

The present study aimed to adapt the Teacher Self-Efficacy Scale (TSES) developed by Schwarzer et al. (1999) into Italian and to test its validity and reliability. In a group of teachers (N = 683; 83% female), the factor structure (Confirmatory Factor Analyses), construct validity (latent relations with burnout variables), measurement invariance…

Due to the current shortage of special education teachers and the rising concerns over attrition and retention, it is important to understand what is contributing to teacher burnout and self-efficacy. This purpose of this quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional, predictive study was to determine if there was a predictive relationship…
