Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy Scale (TSES)
Three moderately correlated factors have been consistently found in the Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy Scale (TSES). These are teachers’ efficacy in: Student Engagement, Instructional Practices, and Classroom Management. The authors note that “With pre-service teachers we recommend that the full 24-item scale (or 12-item short form) be used, because the factor structure often is less distinct for these respondents.” The survey has the reader answer from 1 (nothing) – 9 (a great deal). The Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy Scale is designed to see what creates the most difficulties for teachers in daily school activities.
