Japanese high school English teachers' self-Efficacy beliefs about teaching English

(2016) Japanese high school English teachers' self-Efficacy beliefs about teaching English. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This study used a sequential mixed method design to investigate the self-efficacy for teaching beliefs of Japanese high school teachers of English (JTEs). It identified five dimensions of teacher efficacy beliefs related to student achievement, English capability, communicative teaching, collective collaboration, and workload regulation. Findings indicate that contextual and personal factors influence JTE self-efficacy for teaching beliefs, and suggest that social persuasion (i.e., a source of efficacy beliefs) may be a stronger influence on the development of teacher efficacy beliefs in the Japanese context.
