Sources of mathematics self-efficacy: The interactive role of parental education and perceptions of teachers.

Using US National Education Longitudinal Study (NELS) data, we explore how parental education and primary students' perceptions of their teachers interact to impact students' self-efficacy in mathematics. Our results demonstrate that students tend to have higher self-efficacy if they perceive that their teacher promotes the importance of mathematics. This relationship holds regardless of parental education, though it is strongest for children of parents without a university education. Children of less educated parents also tend to have lower self-efficacy if they attend private schools, which typically have high average parental socio-economic status (SES). School type has no discernable impact on children of university-educated parents. These findings are highly relevant to the Canadian context, which is characterized by schools being stratified by SES and the high importance of STEM education for occupational outcomes.

SOURCES OF SELF-EFFICACY AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS ON SCIENCE TEACHER EDUCATION

<p>Bandura’s reaction to the depictions of human agency that were propagated by the trait, behaviorist, and psychodynamic theories yielded the social cognitive theory. Through the social cognitive theory emerged the concept of self-efficacy. Self-efficacy is one’s judgment of the capabilities to bring about desired outcomes. An understanding of the concept of self-efficacy and its sources has implications for the training of pre-service science teachers to effectively teach science. This article aims to use theoretical and empirical studies concerning Bandura’s theoretical sources of self-efficacy - Enactive Mastery Experience, Vicarious Experiences, Verbal Persuasion, and Physiological and Psychological State – to guide science teacher educators in determining effective approaches to developing a sense of self-efficacy in their pre-service science teachers. The article summarizes each of the sources of self-efficacy. It simultaneously provides suggestions to science teacher educators for inculcating a high sense of self-efficacy in their pre-service science teachers.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0036/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Exploring the sources of cervical cancer screening self-efficacy among rural females: A qualitative study.

Evidence showed self-efficacy was relevant to rural females' cervical cancer screening behaviour. However, little is known about sources of self-efficacy in cervical cancer screening among rural females. This study aimed to explore sources of self-efficacy in cervical cancer screening among rural females. A qualitative descriptive study was conducted. Both users and providers of cervical cancer screening services in rural areas of China were recruited through maximum variation sampling. Individual semi-structured interviews through telephone calls were conducted. Data were analysed via six main stages of the framework method, with the social cognitive theory as a reference. Four main sources were identified, including personal screening experience, hearing about other women's screening experiences, professional health education and consultation, and emotional status. Personal screening experience included enactive mastery of completing the screening behaviourand cognitive mastery of internalisation of the screening. Only the experience of completing cervical cancer screening behaviour was not strong enough to improve self-efficacy. Cognitive mastery showed more critical influence. These four sources of rural females' cervical cancer screening self-efficacy matched with the major sources of self-efficacy of the social cognitive theory. Cognition was critical to influencing the screening self-efficacy. Intervention strategies aimed at enhancing rural females' cervical cancer screening self-efficacy can be developed from these four major sources. A registered nurse with rich experience in cervical cancer-related research and qualitative study was the interviewer of this study. Rural females and cervical cancer screening servicesproviders (healthcare professionals and village staff) were recruited as interviewees. The interview guides were developed by the research team and evaluated by an expert panel including two nurse leaders of gynaecological cancer, one doctor specialised in cervical cancer, and one medical director in a local rural hospital.

Examining the antecedents of medical tourists' use of social media from the standpoint of self-efficacy

PurposeThe purpose of this research is to examine, from the self-efficacy standpoint, the factors that influence medical tourists' use of social media for travel planning. To that end, this study presents a conceptual framework for evaluating medical tourists' online behaviour and empirically tests the model's validity by examining various dimensions of self-efficacy.Design/methodology/approachA sample of 224 people who searched for medical tourism information online was used in this study. Partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was employed to test the proposed model with data from an online questionnaire survey.FindingsThe findings suggest that sources of self-efficacy reinforce one's belief in the ability to use social media for medical travel planning purposes. According to the structural model analysis results, with the exception of social persuasion (SP), all of the proposed factors were significant sources of self-efficacy.Practical implicationsThe findings can assist medical tourism providers in optimising online searches for medical travel information, as well as medical tourism destination marketers in directing the tourism providers' marketing efforts towards the use of social media to target potential medical tourists more efficiently and on a larger scale.Originality/valueThis study is being conducted in response to a significant knowledge gap in identifying the factors that influence medical tourists' online behaviour. This information can help medical tourism destination marketers gain a competitive advantage by using social media to target potential medical tourists more effectively and on a larger scale.

Characteristics of effective models for classroom demonstrations

ABSTRACT Use of peer models during classroom demonstrations can be an effective teaching practice to support student learning and self-efficacy. According to social cognitive theory, modeling is a form of vicarious experience: those experiences through which students are able to learn and acquire knowledge through observation. As a critical source of self-efficacy, vicarious experiences involving peer models are likely to support students’ efficacy. Although qualities of effective peer models have been identified, there has been less translational work that discusses the tensions between best practice and the practical considerations by educators in identifying, selecting, and using peer models for classroom demonstrations. The aim of this paper is to review the qualities of peer models research and discuss how effective peer models can be implemented in diverse classrooms. Here we pay particular attention to the perceived similarity of ability and identity between the model and student observers. This paper also outlines gaps in the research and identifies pathways for future research.

Teacher self-efficacy sources during secondary mathematics initial teacher education

This one-year phenomenological study focuses on exploring sources of teacher self-efficacy (TSE) among pre-service secondary mathematics teachers during their initial teacher education. The findings of the study shed light on the significance of enactive, social and affective sources of TSE, and suggest the need to broaden the understanding of these sources. They also emphasize the need to explore previously unexamined aspects of TSE, in order to gain a more comprehensive understanding of this important construct in the field of education. Furthermore, the study highlights the importance of considering factors beyond just mathematics teacher knowledge when considering mathematics teacher professional learning.

Inspiring academic confidence in university students: perceived digital experience as a source of self-efficacy

PurposeThis study aims to introduce a research framework that identifies the potential sources of design self-efficacy that emerge from the digital class by covering the teaching for professional competence model (TPCM) to enhance students’ design self-efficacy.Design/methodology/approachThe multistage and purposive sampling technique is used, and the respondents considered are Malaysian university students. Further, the students who completed the survey included both local and international students so as to capture responses through primary data.FindingsThe findings of this research study reveal that design self-efficacy is determined not only by feedback and collaborative learning but also by perceived digital class experience.Research limitations/implicationsMoreover, this study is limited in offering a theoretical framework using the TPCM; therefore, future studies may incorporate Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory and may also use the theory integration approach. Also, in terms of geographic coverage, the current work is limited to an area in Klang Valley. Future studies may be carried out in other parts or regions of the country. Future researchers may also focus on technological self-efficacy to capture the other related factors that may be related.Practical implicationsThis study not only contributed to the theoretical extensions but also to practical implications, which would benefit the policymakers of higher education providers in Malaysia.Originality/valueTPCM components, which are students’ personal characteristics, teaching practices and student’s perceptions of the classroom climate, are mapped into the digital class context as potential sources of design self-efficacy and collectively labelled as digital class experience. To the authors’ knowledge, the digital class environment variable is yet to be tested as a component of TPCM.

My language ability could have been better or worse: Examining how upward and downward counterfactual thinking predict self-efficacy and language performance

Counterfactual beliefs are ideas about how one’s past could have been better (upward counterfactuals) and worse (downward counterfactuals). In this study, we investigated how language learners’ upward and downward counterfactual beliefs about their language ability were related to their self-efficacy and performance. In so doing, we examined the mediating role of learners’ different sources of self-efficacy. The study sample included 320 Iranian intermediate level language learners (190 males and 130 females) at a language institute in Isfahan, Iran. The results of the study indicated that upward counterfactual thinking was negatively related to self-efficacy and language performance, while downward counterfactual thinking positively predicted self-efficacy. Moreover, the results showed that upward counterfactual thinking predicted self-efficacy indirectly via the mediation of four sources of self-efficacy (mastery experiences, vicarious experiences, verbal persuasion, and emotional and physiological states) and language performance through the mediation of vicarious experiences and verbal persuasion. In addition, downward counterfactual thinking indirectly predicted self-efficacy through the mediation of vicarious experiences and emotional and physiological states, as well as language performance via the mediation of vicarious experiences.

Mathematics Instructional Leadership

To optimize teacher support, administrators need subject-specific knowledge, skills, and beliefs to lead, not just manage, instructional change. Professional development (PD) is needed with the many roles administrators are already called to fill. In this study, 38 elementary administrators participated in PD in mathematics instructional leadership. Findings from the Administrator Self-Efficacy Survey for Mathematics, derived from the Principal Self-Efficacy Survey (Smith & Guarino, 2005), show that subject-specific, district-led PD designed around sources of self-efficacy (Bandura, 1977, 1982, 1986) had a significant impact on increasing administrators’ mathematics instructional leadership self-efficacy. Specifically, administrators increased their beliefs to influence effective mathematics practice, apply district PD to instructional leadership practices, and justify change during reform. These results show promise for future mathematics-specific instructional leadership development. Results from this study can inform PD design for districts and leaders aiming to promote and support school administrators as instructional leaders and advocates for evidence-based practice.

Translation and validation of music performance self-efficacy scale into Turkish

The Music Performance Self-Efficacy Scale (MPSES) is an important scale designed to reflect the four sources of self-efficacy of Bandura by Zelenak, and has been used in many studies of music education in the international literature in recent years. This study was carried out to ensure the validity and reliability of the Turkish translation of the MPSES. Participants ( N = 613) were students (men n = 291; women n = 322) in undergraduate-level music education programs in Turkey. The translation process included the following steps, which were performed by a translation group: (1) translation into Turkish, (2) back translation into English, and (3) cross-cultural adaptation. First and second-level confirmatory factor analysis results showed good model-data fit (for one main dimension and four sub-dimensions). Therefore, the Turkish version of MPSES produced satisfactory internal consistency coefficients (α = .75–.91). Additionally, t-test results and item-total score correlation coefficients also revealed that the items re distinctive. Accordingly, The Turkish version of MPSES is a valid and reliable tool for determining the sources of music performance self-efficacy for those who will do research in Turkish.

The role of career decision self-efficacy as a mediator of peer support on students’ career adaptability

This study aims to determine the role of career decision self-efficacy (CDSE) as a mediator of the relationship between peer support and career adaptability among college students. Furthermore, students are in a realistic period of career development, but in reality, the level of adaptability is still low because the knowledge and career guidance in Indonesia only start at the college level, or at least high school. This condition makes recent graduates experience confusion in determining careers, thereby affecting their ability to adapt. One of the most influential external factors of career adaptability is peer support, where students spend more time with friends and provide information, career suggestions, emotional support, and being role models to each other. CDSE was selected as a moderator because career adaptability can be enhanced through self-efficacy sources. The participants used were final-year college students in Indonesia (N = 538). Data was then collected using convenience sampling techniques. The instruments used in this study include Career Adapt-Abilities Scale, Career-Related Peer Support, and Career Decision Self-Efficacy-Short Form. The results showed that CDSE fully mediated peer support on adaptability (c = 0.247; p < .001). Furthermore, peer support as an external factor is inadequate to enhance career adaptability. This indicates that internal factors are needed to help students adapt to changes in the working world and career choices. Students who only obtain social support from campus friends regarding career cannot adapt when they lack the confidence to make decisions with the information and knowledge provided.

Self-Efficacy Scales In Online Learning: Construction And Validation

Low enthusiasm and student learning outcomes during the online learning process are influenced by several factors, one of which is the self-efficacy factor. The reality on the ground shows that teachers have not been able to measure students' self-efficacy level during the online learning process, so this research was conducted to develop and validate items that assess four sources of self-efficacy in online learning. This research belongs to the type of development research carried out through the literature review stage, deriving instrument items, testing instruments on samples, selecting instrument items, and analyzing the reliability and validity of the instrument. The subjects involved in this research were one expert in educational evaluation, one in online learning, and 176 students. Data collection in the study was carried out using the non-test method, with research instruments in the form of instrument validity sheets and student self-efficacy questionnaires. The data obtained in the study were then analyzed by testing the validity and reliability of the instrument items using partial least squares (PLS) analysis. The research analysis results show that the instrument developed has achieved valid and reliable values for thirteen items on self-efficacy measurement in online learning, so this instrument can be used in research involving self-efficacy as a variable that has shown four sources/dimensions of self-efficacy.

Fostering social persuasion as a source of self-efficacy in negotiating through simulation design

The current study followed the need for more research concerning the understanding of the relationship between simulation design and self-efficacy in negotiating development within role-play simulations of political decision-making. More specifically, the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of social persuasion as a source for self-efficacy in negotiating with simulation design elements. The research was conducted in a three-day simulation about the EU decision-making process. By means of daily diaries and semi-structured interviews, critical incidents about the emergence of social persuasion influencing self-efficacy development were defined. Data were analysed by applying thematic content analysis. Findings show that social persuasion was largely facilitated by the simulation design that offered possibilities for informal contact.

Nurses Self-Efficacy Caring for COVID-19 Patients: A Qualitative Study

The Covid-19 pandemic causes nurses to experience various physical and mental stresses to deal with rapid case escalation with severe patient conditions. The workload of nurses is increasing and they are required to quickly adapt to the change in the function of the treatment room into a Covid-19 Isolation Room. High self-efficacy is needed for motivation and performance as well as controlling stress. This study aims to obtain an overview of the sources of nurse self-efficacy and explore other themes related to nurse self-efficacy in the Covid-19 Isolation Room. This research is a qualitative research by conducting semi-structured in-depth interviews with 12 informants. The informants were selected by purposive sampling consisting of the shift nurse, the team leader and the head nurse. Data analysis techniques with manual thematic analysis. The stress faced by nurses in the Covid-19 Isolation Room is related to workload, job risks and relational relationships at work and in the community. Sources of informants' self-efficacy were obtained from mastery experiences through internships, vicarious experiences from role models and social persuasion from friends and superiors. Three themes were found that affect self-efficacy, namely personal, organizational and external variables. In each theme also found several sub-themes. In order to increase nurse's self-efficacy, it is necessary to utilize self-efficacy sources, maximize personal variables and get support from family and organizations.&#x0D;

Investigating the sources of teacher intercultural self-efficacy: A three-level study using TALIS 2018

This study aimed to investigate how individual experiences and contextual aspects at the school and country level are associated with teacher intercultural self-efficacy. We drew on the Teaching and Learning International Survey 2018 (TALIS) data from 91,768 teachers, 11,523 schools, and 46 countries, as well as MIPEX (Migrant Integration Policy Index) indicators. Multilevel models revealed that intercultural professional development, teacher mobility, and multicultural school climate were positively related to teacher intercultural self-efficacy. Country multicultural education policy was not robustly associated with teacher intercultural self-efficacy. The findings highlight the need to consider individual and contextual aspects when examining teacher intercultural self-efficacy.

상담자 자기효능감의 관계적 원천에 관한 연구

A tripartite model of relational efficacy beliefs which explains how self-efficacy developswithin close relationships was applied to the context of counseling supervision to confirmrelational sources of counselor self-efficacy. Survey data about relational efficacy beliefs werecollected from 153 counselors and analyzed using AMOS 21.0. The results of path analysis showthat counselor self-efficacy is well predicted by counselors' beliefs about how their supervisorsperceive counselors' ability(Relation-Inferred Self-Efficacy: RISE), and counselors' beliefs aboutthe supervisors' ability(other-efficacy) and counselors' length of counseling experience moderatethe strength of this relationship. Furthermore, other-efficacy predicts RISE and supervisoryrelationships. It is suggested that RISE and other-efficacy play important roles as relationalsources of counselor self-efficacy in a supervisory relationship.

Tour guides’ self-efficacy and resilience capability building through sharing economy platforms

PurposeThis study aims to explore how the local tour guides (LTGs) operate through the sharing economy platform. This study explores how LTGs have responded to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions using self-efficacy and other resources to improve resilience and performance. This study also delineates the working mechanisms of peer-to-peer (P2P) platform-enabled, dynamic capability building processes, in the tourism sharing economy.Design/methodology/approachThis research adopted an interpretive approach to understand the focal phenomenon using two types of data. A total of 40 semi-structured interviews with LTGs and 26,478 online tourist reviews from tour guide service participants’ before and during the COVID-19 pandemic were used.FindingsThe findings of this study revealed that LTGs used sharing economy platforms to arrange flexible tour guide services. Resilience emerged through dynamic capability that addressed contextual factors in real time. LTGs coordinated different resources and customers during a time of uncertainty. Different sources of self-efficacy and types of dynamic capability were identified. The interplay between LTGs’ self-efficacy and dynamic capability was also delineated.Practical implicationsThe findings provide guidance for LTGs on P2P platforms and other sharing economy sectors on how diverse resources enabled by the sharing economy can enhance resilience during times of uncertainty. LTGs that engage with contextual information and are dynamic can adopt itineraries and services that will benefit tourists and their business.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the sharing economy literature by theorizing the working flow that enables LTGs to exert self-efficacy and leverage dynamic capability on P2P platforms. This study also contributes by linking resilience to contextual factors in real time. The outcomes provide guidance for LTGs to remain competitive and establish resilience in uncertain environments.
