Abstract

This paper which was based on a research, was to determine student teachers’ sense of self-efficacy belief with specific reference to the aspects of student engagement, instructional strategies and classroom management. A survey was conducted using Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy Scale (TSES) to measure teachers’ self-efficacy. The respondents were 96 final-year Diploma in TESL students in a public higher learning institution in Malaysia. The findings indicated that students have high sense of efficacy in all aspects. In addition, when correlation between efficacy and academic performance was investigated, the study found no correlation between the two variables exists. It can be concluded that student teachers think highly of their teaching ability and skills implying that they had been well exposed to the different pedagogical subjects offered during their programme.
