Abstract

Self-efficacy beliefs have cyclical nature as they enhance performance and performance, in turn, influences subsequent self-efficacy beliefs. Likewise, teacher self-efficacy is proposed to shape teaching quality which, in turn, informs future teacher self-efficacy beliefs. To examine these associations, longitudinal studies are needed but are still sparse. Therefore, the present research employed a three-wave longitudinal design to examine the predictive effects of teacher self-efficacy on teaching quality as well as the predictive effects of teaching quality on future teacher self-efficacy by using data from large samples of secondary school teachers (N = 1030) and their students (N = 17,381). Teachers self-reported their efficacy for student engagement, efficacy for instructional strategies and efficacy for classroom management whereas students rated the teaching quality (i.e., cognitive activation, classroom management, and student support) of their teachers. The results of the multilevel structural equation modelling showed that all three dimensions of teacher self-efficacy predicted teaching quality but teaching quality, in turn, predicted only teacher efficacy for student engagement. These results suggest that efforts in raising teacher self-efficacy may show fruitful in raising overall teaching effectiveness.

教师自我效能感与教学质量：三波纵向调查。

自我效能感信念具有周期性，因为它们会提高绩效，而绩效反过来又会影响后续的自我效能感信念。同样，教师的自我效能感也会影响教学质量，而教学质量又会影响教师未来的自我效能感信念。要研究这些关联，需要进行纵向研究，但纵向研究仍然很少。因此，本研究采用三波纵向设计，利用中学教师（1030 人）及其学生（17381 人）的大样本数据，考察教师自我效能感对教学质量的预测作用，以及教学质量对未来教师自我效能感的预测作用。教师自我报告了他们对学生参与的效能感、对教学策略的效能感和对课堂管理的效能感，而学生则对教师的教学质量（即认知激活、课堂管理和学生支持）进行了评分。多层次结构方程模型的结果表明，教师自我效能感的三个维度都能预测教学质量，但教学质量反过来只能预测教师对学生参与的效能感。这些结果表明，提高教师自我效能感的努力可能会在提高整体教学效果方面取得成效。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Psychology (IJP) is the journal of the International Union of Psychological Science (IUPsyS) and is published under the auspices of the Union. IJP seeks to support the IUPsyS in fostering the development of international psychological science. It aims to strengthen the dialog within psychology around the world and to facilitate communication among different areas of psychology and among psychologists from different cultural backgrounds. IJP is the outlet for empirical basic and applied studies and for reviews that either (a) incorporate perspectives from different areas or domains within psychology or across different disciplines, (b) test the culture-dependent validity of psychological theories, or (c) integrate literature from different regions in the world.
