q3 i? At Level 2, collective efficacy in instruction was strongly associated with school-mean cognitive activation (β = .66) and collective efficacy in classroom management with school-mean classroom management (β = .78). → Holzberger 2021

Evidence¶

Holzberger 2021¶

Holzberger, D., & Prestele, E. (2021). Teacher Self-Efficacy and Self-Reported Instructional Quality: A Multilevel Perspective on the Role of School Characteristics. Learning and Instruction, 76, 101513. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.learninstruc.2021.101513

q3 · i? · associational · r2

Random intercept models on aggregated school-level variables (246 schools). Level 2 standardized coefficients were β = .66 for efficacy in instruction on cognitive activation and β = .78 for efficacy in classroom management on classroom management, with R² of .49 and .61 at Level 2.

"uniquely significant parameters indicated that schools with higher collective efficacy concerning instruction were also the schools where teachers reported higher cognitive activation (Level 2)"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Being a teacher at a school with higher collective efficacy in classroom management is associated with higher self-reported classroom management over and above individual self-efficacy — related
• Teachers with higher self-efficacy report higher instructional quality at the individual teacher level, with congruent domain-specific associations — related
• Self-reported cognitive activation shows no context effects of school characteristics after controlling for individual teacher self-efficacy — related
• School characteristics moderate the self-efficacy–classroom management relationship: smaller slopes in schools with high collective efficacy or high collaboration, larger with more participation — related
