Relationship between Teacher Self-Efficacy and Teaching Effectiveness

Abstract

This paper explores the relationship between teacher self-efficacy and teaching effectiveness, a crucial factor in educational outcomes. Teacher self-efficacy, or the belief in one's ability to influence student engagement and achievement, is increasingly recognized as vital to teaching effectiveness. The study synthesizes existing research, applies theoretical frameworks, and examines case studies to analyse how self-efficacy impacts teaching practices, student learning, and overall classroom environment. The findings indicate a strong positive correlation between teacher self-efficacy and teaching effectiveness, with implications for teacher training, professional development, and educational policy.
