The Predictive Power of the Self-efficacy Beliefs of Physical Education Candidate Teachers on their Attitudes towards the Assessment and Evaluation in Education

Abstract

The aim of the research is to examine relationship between self-efficacy beliefs and attitudes for assessment and evaluation of physical education candidate teachers. In this research, the relational model has been used. Study group consists of 86 women (48%), 93 men (52%) and total 179 physical education teacher candidates (M age =22.17, SD=1.61) who are studying at physical education department in three universities. As data collection tool "Self-Efficacy Perceptions of Candidate Teachers at Assessment and Evaluation in Education" and "Attitude toward Educational Measurement Inventory" has been used. In the analysis, addition to descriptive statistics, inferential statistics such as correlation and regression analysis has been used. It has determined that ''self-efficacy based-skill'' belief for assessment and evaluation in this research has a moderate effect size towards attitude for assessment and evaluation. Also, it has been shown that variables constituting self-efficacy belief subscale for assessment and evaluation have explained 10% of total variance for assessment and evaluation of attitude in education. Besides, it has been found that attitude and self-efficacy beliefs of teacher candidates for assessment and evaluation in education were high level.

Resuscitating students’ attitude toward mathematics via computer-based software package instruction

“…The findings of this study support that of Ozden, Aktay, Yilmaz, & Ozdemir (2007), Ersoy & Akbulut (2014), as well as Kalemoglu Varol (2014) who affirmed that there exist a high correlation between computer self-efficacy and attitudinal change. Stanley & Pollard (2013), Sure (2009) and Brown (2008) also support that self-efficacy relates positively to attitude.…”

Analysis of the framework for realizing core literacy in teaching physical education and health curriculum based on the ordinary differential error approximation method

“…In the knowledge era, the cultivation and competition of talents in various countries and regions are particularly important, and cultivating students' core literacy has become the trend of international basic education development today [1][2][3]. The cultivation of students is moving from the previous "knowledge-based" to "competence-based", with more emphasis on the overall development of students and the cultivation of their qualities and abilities [4][5]. UNESCO has proposed five pillars of lifelong learning, and how to better cultivate the core literacy of students in the region has become a common problem in education today [6][7].…”
