Teacher self-efficacy is considered one of the most powerful constructs in explaining both student and teacher behaviors, including the goals they set for themselves, their persistence in the face of difficulties, and the effort they invest. For over the past three decades, a number of educational studies have emerged about meaning, measurement, and correlates of this construct, as well as application in different domains like science teaching efficacy. This chapter focuses on science teaching efficacy beliefs. First, we present the historical background of self-efficacy including origins, definition, and distinctive features of self-efficacy beliefs. Next, we focus on teachers’ sense of efficacy, highlighting the conceptual framework and critical measurement issues. We then review research on science teaching efficacy by summarizing major findings. We conclude our chapter by offering recommendations for future research.
