Personal Biology Teaching Efficacy Beliefs and Biology Teaching Outcome Expectancy of in-Service Elementary Teachers

Abstract: <p>The role of the teacher is of great importance in learning and his beliefs affect effectiveness of teaching in every cognitive object. This paper deals with the personal self-efficacy beliefs and the outcome expectancy of in-service teachers teaching biological concepts in Primary School. The study was conducted with 509 in-service elementary teachers and the bio-STEBI-A, which is an adaptation of STEBI-A, was used as the data collection instrument. The results of our survey indicated that in-service … Show more

“…The present research proposes a TPD-MOOC for improving elementary school teachers' self-efficacy beliefs and at the same time investigates its effectiveness through an experimental research. This study is of great importance as technological evolution and the COVID-19 pandemic (Tzovla & Kedraka, 2020) have mandated the implementation of most professional development courses through remote teaching and distance education. MOOCs could be considered as a modern professional development's tool, continually gaining intense educational and pedagogical interest and research, with Fishman et al (2013) arguing that there are no significant differences in learning outcomes whether teachers attend programs with physical participation or online.…”

“…In addition, our research highlighted the increased interest that exists in teaching biological concepts in Primary Education, as so far, no MOOCs have been implemented which relate to the specific subject. Given the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for biological literacy through the utilization of digital technologies in Primary Education contributes to the creation of conscious and responsible students and then citizens (Tzovla & Kedraka, 2020b). In this context, the perspective of designing and implementing such courses that combine biological concepts and digital technologies should be integrated into the educational policies since they are priorities for education.…”

“…The COVID-19 pandemic has brought to the foreground a number of issues related to teacher education and readiness to support the emergency remote teaching model. Issues such as digital skills of teachers and students, the utilization of digital educational content and OER in teaching, teachers' cognitive readiness to teach biological concepts emerged compellingly (Tzovla & Kedraka, 2020b).…”

“…Moreover, it has adequate validity as it has been used for measurement in-service teachers' self-efficacy beliefs in biological concepts (Angle & Moseley, 2009;Haney et al, 2007). The findings advocated that the participants had moderate self-efficacy beliefs (Tzovla & Kedraka, 2020b). This result led us to search for a teacher professional development scheme that could improve their self-efficacy beliefs.…”
