Relationship between Teachers’ Self-efficacy and Academic Achievements of students at secondary level in district Muzaffarabad

Abstract

The research in Education in past few years is mostly focused on correlation between the teacher’s self-efficacy and students’ academic achievement. However, there was no such research conducted in Azad Jammu and Kashmir. Being a resident of AJK, my research addresses how educational achievements of the students boost by the teacher’s self-efficacy. This study aims to determine this relationship at secondary level in Muzaffarabad district. For this purpose, I selected 250 secondary school teachers and their students via multi cluster sampling technique. The research is primary in nature, data is collected through teacher efficacy scale (The Ohio Teacher Efficacy Scale), developed by Tschannen-Moran and Hoy (2001) for teachers and to measure students’ academic achievements. For this purpose, annual examination results of Mirpur Board (BISE AJK) of grade 10th validated. Data was analyzed through Pearson Correlation method. This study highlights how the teacher’s efficacy has positive implications towards the students’ academic achievement. This research also highlights the gaps in the study for the future research.
