Teacher self-efficacy for teaching
Last updated: November, 2003
Hoover-Dempsey, Walker, Jones and Reed (2002)
This scale assesses teacher self-efficacy for teaching. It was adapted
from Hoover-Dempsey, Bassler and Brissie (1987) and is reported in Hoover-Dempsey,
Walker, Jones and Reed (2002). Participants were asked to respond to the
following prompt: “In this section, please indicate HOW MUCH YOU AGREE OR
DISAGREE with each of the statements.” Using a six-point, Likert-type scale
(1=disagree very strongly, 2=disagree, 3=disagree just a little, 4=agree just
a little, 5=agree, 6=agree very strongly). Alpha reliability for the scale
= .81 (pre-test) and .86 (post-test), n = 52.

can get through to even the most difficult and unmotivated students.

Children are so private and complex,
I never know if I am getting through to them.

I usually know how to get through
to students.

Most of a student's school motivation
depends on the home environment, so I have limited influence.

I can do to raise the basic performance level of students.

I am successful with the students
in my class.

of my students.
