Adapting the Teacher Responsibility Scale and the Teacher Efficacy Scale among in-service and pre-service teachers ; A Tanári Felelősség Kérdőív és a Tanári Hatékonyság Kérdőív működése pedagógusok és pedagógusjelöltek körében

This study examined the psychometric properties of the Hungarian adaptations of Lauermann and Karabenick’s (2013) Teacher Responsibility Scale and Teacher Efficacy Scale among in-service and pre-service teachers. The two instruments have four sub-scales each of which focuses on the following areas: student motivation, student achievement, teacher-student relationship, efficacy of teaching. In-service teachers (n=166) completed the scales online, while pre-service teachers (n=121) completed paper-and-pencil versions. Validity was examined with the help of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis; the original factor structures were confirmed in both sub-samples. Reliability was adequate both in the sample of in-service (Cronbach’s α = 0.67–0.94) and pre-service teachers (Cronbach’s α = 0.69–0.88). For both questionnaires, the lowest mean scores were obtained for the student motivation and the student achievement sub-scales in both sub-samples, which is in line with international results. Two-sample t-test confirmed significant differences between the replies of in-service and that of pre-service teachers for the efficacy of teaching sub-scale of the Teacher Responsibility Scale and for the student achievement and the efficacy of teaching sub-scales of the Teacher Efficacy Scale. In all cases, higher mean scores were measured in the sample of pre-service teachers. Results confirm that the adapted instruments are suitable for measuring in-service and pre-service teachers’ sense of responsibility and self-efficacy, and may be used in further research as well as in pre-service and in-service teacher training courses. ; Munkánk célja a Lauermann és Karabenick (2013) által kidolgozott Tanári Felelősség Kérdőív (Teacher Responsibility Scale) és Tanári Hatékonyság Kérdőív (Teacher Efficacy Scale) magyar adaptációja, működésének vizsgálata pedagógusok és pedagógusjelöltek körében. A két mérőeszköz ugyanazokra a területekre fókuszáló négy-négy skálája a következő témaköröket fedi le: tanulói motiváció, tanulói ...
