| Abstract |
Self-efficacy, an individual's belief in their ability to succeed in specific situations, plays a crucial role in shaping early childhood educators' teaching effectiveness and overall job satisfaction. The self-efficacy of early childhood educators determines the quality, efficiency, and engagement of their teaching and is inextricably linked to their ability to support the development of young children. The self-efficacy of early childhood educators may vary due to factors such as degree and major, qualifications, experience, workplace and higher education program support (including professional training, peer and administrators collaboration, tutor support), interpersonal interactions, work stress (including salary, social status), classroom characteristics and educator demographics (including race, ethnicity and low socioeconomic status, first-generation college students, and childhood exposure to trauma) . This study will examine the factors that influence the self-efficacy of early childhood educators who are enrolled in an early childhood education higher education program in a western state in the United States. |
