Teacher Efficacy and Career Indecision among Pre-Service Teachers: A Model of Direct and Indirect Effects
Slone, Mary Beth; Hancock, Mary D.
Mid-Western Educational Researcher, v21 n2 p24-29 Spr 2008
The present study investigates, through path analytic techniques, the influence of teacher efficacy on the career indecision of pre-service teachers. The sample consists of 305 students enrolled in Teacher Education programs at two southeastern universities. Results indicate that general teacher efficacy and career self-efficacy have significant direct effects on career indecision. Career self-efficacy mediates significant indirect effects for both general and personal teacher efficacy. (Contains 3 tables and 2 figures.)
