“…state that a teacher with a high sense of self-efficacy presents himself as a proactive teacher, who believes in the existence of the necessary external and internal resources, who takes responsibility for his own professional growth, who focuses on the search for solutions to problems, regardless of the causes that originate them, who choose their paths of action and that creates meaning and sense for their lives by setting ambitious personal goals.More recent research shows that contextual factors such as teaching resources, support from colleagues, and mediated experiences influence pre-service teachers' self-efficacy and beliefs (TSCHANNEN-MORAN; HOY 2007). Some studies developed around the concept, and within the scope of Social cognitive theory, have shown that the level of teacher self-efficacy appears strongly correlated with the willingness to adopt new practices and methodologies in the classroom (KAGIMA; HAUSAFUS, 2000; SMYLIE, 1998).The teachers' self-efficacy and confidence were referred in many studies as important factors to promote the use of digital technologies in education(FONSECA, 2019; PEDRO; PIEDADE, 2013; PIEDADE; PEDRO, 2014) and, in particular the use of educational robotics(JAIPAL-JAMENI;ANGELI, 2017;LEONARD et al, 2018;GÜNBATAR, 2019). Jaipal-Jamani and Angeli (2017) andLeonard et al (2018) reported the positive effects of robotics on pre-service teachers' self-efficacy, science learning, and computational thinking knowledge.…”
