Self-Efficacy Teaching and Knowledge Instrument for Science Teachers (SETAKIST)
InstrumentsBuilding on previous research on the Science Teaching Efficacy Belief Instrument (STEBI) (I. Riggs and L. Enochs, 1990), the Self-Efficacy Teaching and Knowledge Instrument for Science Teachers (SETAKIST), hypothesizes that science teacher self-efficacy exists in two constructs: teaching efficacy and knowledge efficacy. This instrument is comprised of 16 items, each measured by a 5-point Likert scale. The link provides documentation for the SETAKIST as well as the SETAKIST itself. Authors provide instrument validity and/or reliability information.
Professional Development Integrating Technology: Does Delivery Format Matter?
PublicationsAbstract The goal of the two Power of Data (POD) projects was to increase science, technology and math skills through the implementation of project-based learning modules that teach students how to solve problems through data collection and analysis utilizing geospatial technologies. Professional development institutes in two formats were offered to encourage teachers to implement the modules. We compared teacher learning, teacher implementation, and student learning from the two different professional development formats to examine how each format supported teachers to implement the modules
