Contributions ofteacher efficacy and past experiences to global education attitudes and practices of 78female Florida home economics teachers were studied. Teacher efficacy included twofacets: teaching efficacy as outcome expectancies and personal teaching efficacy as self-efficacy expectations. Teacher efficacy was assessed in relation to expectations associated with teaching students about other cultural or ethnic groups. Past experiences referred to teachers' age, educational level, length of teaching in home economics, travel experiences to other world regions, and cumulative time spent outside the United States. Regression analyses revealed teaching efficacy to be the only significant predictor of teachers' global education attitudes, whereas personal teaching efficacy wasfound to be the only significant predictor of their global education practices. The overall modelsfor both ofthese analyses were significant. Findings were discussed on the basis of Bandura's self-efficacy theory relative to the importance of aspects of teacher efficacy and past experiences in determining behavior. |
