Novice and experienced foreign languages teacher's sense of efficacy and promoting citizenship education

This study explored novice and experienced teacher’s self-efficacy beliefs and sense of promoting citizenship education among foreign language teachers working at University of Pula. Data were collected through a survey administered to 74 teachers. A modified version of the Teacher Sense of Efficacy Scale (Tschannen-Moran and Woolfolk Hoy, 2001) was used to assess efficacy for management, engagement, and instructional strategies. A questionnaire was designed for the purpose of appraising the teachers’ sense of promoting citizenship education. Results indicated that teachers’ efficacy for instructional strategies was higher than efficacy for management and engagement. Results also showed differences between novice and experienced teachers in the areas of instructional strategy, classroom management, and student engagement. To shed light on the teachers’ sense of promoting citizenship education, there was non-significant difference between novice and experienced teachers. The findings provide implications for foreign language teacher preparation as well as professional development.
