Abstract
The teachers' attitude matters in performance of students. The literature revealed that teachers' attitudes could influence students' self-efficacy and, subsequently, their academic performance. To determine if teachers' views affect their students' self-efficacy, this study looked at this question. Teachers have prominent roles in helping students develop basic concepts,connect their interests to their abilities, and sustain their curiosity from early years. Research on descriptive surveys used proportional and stratified sampling methods. Teachers' Attitude Questionnaire and Science Self-Efficacy and Motivated Learning Questionnaire were used to gather the data (SSMLQ). Three (3) research questions and three developed and tested hypotheses were posed. At a significance level of 0.05, acquired data were analyzed using mean scores, chi-square, and regression analysis. Results revealed a positive (but not significant) relationship between (i) teachers' attitudes and students' self-efficacy, (ii) teachers' gender has no significant relationship with students' academic self-efficacy. conclusion is that teachers' attitudes did not significantly influence self-efficacy of students. So, It was suggested that biology teachers be urged to have the proper mindset as an attitude to foster students' sense of self-efficacy.
