EXAMINING THE EFFECT OF TEACHING PRACTICE ON PRESERVICE BASIC SCIENCE TEACHERS' SCIENCE TEACHING EFFICACY BELIEFS

LOVE M. NNEJI

Published By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

This study investigated the effect of the teaching practice on science teaching efficacy beliefs among 340 Nigerian preservice basic science teachers from three different universities within the blueprint of one-group pre-treatment, post-treatment quasi-experimental research design. In this study, Science Teaching Efficacy Beliefs Instrument (STEBI-B) was used to collect data. Results of the study indicated that the preservice basic science teachers had high self-efficacy beliefs regarding science teaching. More so, teaching practice did have significant effect on preservice basic science teachers' science teaching efficacy beliefs although gender had no significant effect on preservice basic science teachers' science teaching efficacy beliefs.
