q2 i? Perceived efficacy of student teachers accounted for 17% of the variance in career intent, and self-efficacy was positively related to career commitment and job satisfaction across multiple studies. → McKim 2016

The review reports Swan (2005) found "17% of the variance in career intent could be attributed to the perceived efficacy of student teachers," and cites Wheeler and Knobloch (2006) on a positive self-efficacy–career commitment relationship and Blackburn and Robinson (2008) on a positive relationship with job satisfaction. No standardized effect size is printed.

"The work completed by Swan (2005) found 17% of the variance in career intent could be attributed to the perceived efficacy of student teachers."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Self-Efficacy — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
