“…Moreover, it is also emphasised that teachers should be aware of avoiding gender bias in science lessons, giving equal attention to both the boys and the girls. However, considering that about 80% of Finnish primary school teachers are women (reported from World Bank in 2013) and in general, science is an area in which primary school teachers indicate low self-efficacy (Cakiroglu, Capa-Aydin, & Hoy, 2012;Kazempour & Sadler, 2015) in particular female teachers (Lumpe, Czerniak, Haney, & Beltyukova, 2012), we emphasise the role model of the teacher. The primary school teacher is likely to be the representative of the first profession with which students have any contact.…”

Gender disparities in STEM fields have been under extensive study, the focus of which has been on future career aspirations. However, the primary phases in gender differences are still ambiguous when examined from this perspective, possibly due to the fact that most of the studies have targeted samples of upper secondary school or college students. As such, in this study we examined the transient period to lower secondary school; our aim was to discover to what extent relationships between factors of students' science interest and career perspectives differ between male and female. Based on previous studies and analyses, we selected three future career perspective variablesoutcome, personal time, and innovation orientationsand three defining features of interestpersonal value, enjoyment, and cognitive aspect. The sample was conducted in Finland and comprised of 401 grade 7 students aged 13, using a multi-group structural equation modelling. This study found that during the transient period there were clear gender differences regarding interest and preferences of science subjects, as well as their relationship towards future career perspectives. To be specific, biology was preferred by females, and males preferred physics and chemistry. With regard to future career perspectives, female students' science interest was positively correlated with personal time-and innovation-oriented career perspectives; an outcome-oriented career expectation was negatively related to their interest. Interpretation and implication that might possibly arise from the results were also discussed.

“…Previous studies measuring elementary teachers’ engineering efficacy and engineering teaching efficacy are lacking in the research study, making the current findings an important addition to the knowledge base in this field. Related research shows that teacher efficacy is a strong indicator of a teacher's ability to be successful in the classroom (Cakiroglu, Capa‐Aydin, & Woolfolk Hoy, ). Further, regardless of subject or grade level taught, effective classroom instruction requires the teacher to possess subject matter content knowledge, curricular knowledge, and pedagogical content knowledge (Shulman, ).…”

Research indicates that teacher efficacy influences student achievement and is situation specific. With the Next Generation Science Standards calling for the incorporation of engineering practices into K-12 classrooms, it is important to identify teachers' engineering teaching efficacy. A study of K-5 teachers' engineering self-efficacy and engineering teaching efficacy revealed that that they have low engineering self-efficacy and low teacher efficacy related to engineering pedagogical content knowledge. Additionally, significant differences existed in self-efficacy levels based on gender, ethnicity, Title I school status, and grade level taught. 52Volume 117 (1-2)Examining Elementary Teachers

“…Teachers with higher self-efficacy set more ambitious standards for themselves (Nie et al, 2008). It has been shown that teacher's perceptions about their effectiveness predicts success in the implementation of school curricula and aids to identify less effective schools from the most effective ones (Cakiroglu et al, 2012;Srivastava, 2017). Tschannen-Moran and Hoy (2001) propose a TSE's model defined by the abilities to use educational strategies, manage the classroom effectively and engage students in the learning process.…”

This study evaluates the citizenship behaviour of customers and employees from a private school and aims to identify if variables like teachers' self-efficacy and job satisfaction precede such a behaviour. The study was developed in the teaching field, where parents are considered as customers, teachers are employees from private schools that teach 6 to 18 years old students. The method consists of personal surveys applied to teachers and parents in order to measure their perceptions and opinions. The quantitative analysis applied was structural equation modelling. Results confirmed a positive and significative relationship between teachers' self-efficacy, job satisfaction, organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB) and promoter citizenship behaviour. The study revealed that it is more probable that if a school has teachers showing a good level of self-efficacy, intrinsic job satisfaction and OCB, customers will be more satisfied and would recommend their private school to friends and relatives.
