Scale Purpose and Analysis

The Teacher’s Sense of Efficacy Scale (TSES-24) was developed by Tschannen-Moran and Woolfolk Hoy (2001) to assess teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs. The scale evaluates three main dimensions:
Instructional strategies efficacy
Classroom management efficacy
Student engagement efficacy

Item Scoring

The TSES-24 consists of 24 items distributed across the three dimensions: instructional strategies, classroom management, and student engagement. Respondents answer using a 9-point Likert scale, ranging from 1 (Nothing) to 9 (A great deal).

Statistical Analysis

Statistical analysis yields an overall score, calculated as the sum of the scores on all items. A higher total score reflects stronger self-efficacy beliefs regarding one’s teaching effectiveness.

Validity and Reliability

The scale demonstrates satisfactory reliability across all three subscales.
Internal consistency is particularly high, with Cronbach’s alpha ranging from 0.85 to 0.92, indicating strong reliability.
