Self-Efficacy as a Predictor of Teaching Competency among B.Ed. Trainees

Abstract Teaching competency is a critical determinant of effective classroom practice and student learning outcomes. Among the various psychological factors influencing teaching performance, self-efficacy plays a vital role in shaping teachers’ confidence, motivation, and professional behaviour. Self-efficacy refers to an individual’s belief in their ability to organize and execute actions required to achieve desired outcomes. Teachers with high self-efficacy are more likely to demonstrate persistence, adaptability, and effective instructional strategies.
The present study examines self-efficacy as a predictor of teaching competency among B.Ed. trainees. The study adopted a descriptive survey method and was conducted on a sample of 1000 B.Ed. trainees selected from teacher education institutions in Palakkad District of Kerala using a stratified random sampling technique. Standardized tools were employed to measure self-efficacy and teaching competency. The collected data were analysed using appropriate statistical techniques such as mean, standard deviation, correlation, and regression analysis.
The findings revealed a significant positive relationship between self-efficacy and teaching competency among B.Ed. trainees. Regression analysis further indicated that self-efficacy significantly predicts teaching competency. The results highlight the importance of strengthening self-belief and psychological empowerment during teacher training. The study underscores the need to integrate self-efficacy enhancement strategies into teacher education programs to promote effective teaching practices.
