Abstract:
Teachers’ self-efficacy is an important instrument in teaching for the attainment of quality education in the teaching profession. Using psychometric analysis, this study examined and analyzed the perceptions of Filipino Senior High School teachers in Region 7 on their self-efficacy to develop an assessment scale measuring teachers’ self-efficacy. It anchored the theory of Moran and Hoy (2001) and on the domains and competencies stipulated in the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers in the Philippine education. It determined teachers’ perceptions of their level of self-efficacy in terms of instructional strategies, classroom management, student engagement, content knowledge and assessment efficacy. It analyses the structural relevance of the levels of reliability and validity of the novel factors structured in the Teachers’ Self-Efficacy Scale. An observational, cross-sectional exploratory survey design was employed in gathering data from 296 public Senior High School teachers across Regional 7 using online questionnaire. Using principal component analysis and confirmatory factor analysis, the study found that the construct validity of the structure of each factor and component was valid and reliable for assessing teachers’ self-efficacy. The study recommends the effective utilization of the self-efficacy assessment tool for teachers where the items under each factor derived the teaching competencies in the Philippine Professional Standards for teachers in 21st –century educators. The tool is valid and reliable for assessing teachers’ effectiveness and competencies and significantly aid the Department of Education in evaluating teachers’ quality performance thereby promoting excellence and improving the quality of modern education in the country.
