Abstract

Background/Objectives: The study aimed to the professional self-efficacy levels of Industrial Technology teachers and determine how personal and work-related factors correlate to this. Methods/Statistical analysis: Questionnaires were administered to the respondents who were purposively chosen for this research. Demographic data were taken as personal-related factors, while facilities and equipment, program culture an administrative support and professional organization were considered as indicators of work-related factors. Findings: To discern professional efficacy, knowledge improvement, attitudes and practices were taken into account as indicators. Findings showed that Work related variables are predominantly significantly related to professional efficacy rather than personal-related variables. Program culture has positive significant correlation with knowledge improvement as an indicator of professional efficacy. Improvements/Applications: Administrative support and program culture have positive significant correlation with attitude as an indicator of professional efficacy.. Hence, it was concluded that work-related rather than personal-related factors had significantly influenced teachers' perception of professional self-efficacy.
