Abstract:

    The efficacy of teachers is a crucial and guiding factor in the quality of their work. This literature review examines self-efficacy and its psychological dimensions. The aim of the report is to incorporate the key scientific theories that present self-efficacy and its specific effects on teachers' work. It has a direct impact on how they manage the teaching process in the classroom and create a favorable environment where students are motivated to achieve high results. The review also discusses how teachers' sense of self-efficacy influences their assessment of their own ability to effectively impact student learning and behavior. Self-efficacy was first described in Bandura's theory and refers to an individual's belief in their ability to exercise certain behaviors in order to achieve a goal. This construct is of significant relevance to the work of educational professionals, given its determining role as one of the factors contributing to their professional success and work efficiency.
