Abstract
The present study examined the factorial validity of scores on the Teacher Self-Efficacy Scale across the sample of 82 teachers of Pudukkottai District of Tamil Nadu. Self-efficacy theory posits that self- efficacy beliefs are linked to specific activities. Teaching is associated with specific activities. Hence it was hypothesized that the Teacher Self-Efficacy comprised of six different activities namely Job Commitment, Attainment of Excellence Commitment, Organizational commitment, Value Commitment, Student Commitment and Community Commitment. Factor analysis results from the sample supported the hypothesis by showing an adequate fit of a five-factor model with the subscales of Job Commitment (9), Value Commitment (8), Community Commitment (7), Student Commitment (4), and Organizational Commitment (5). Scores from the five subscales (33 items) yielded coefficient alphas in excess of 0.9273.
