dc.description.abstractThe paper explored the influence of age, gender, educational qualification, school type and teaching experience on sense of self-efficacy beliefs among Senior High School (SHS) teachers in Kumasi metropolis of Ghana. Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy Scale (TSES) developed by Tschannen-Moran and Woolfolk Hoy (2001) was personally administered to collect data from 437 respondents who were randomly selected for the study. From the Spearman correlation analysis, it was revealed that teachers’ age, educational qualification and school type significantly correlated with their self efficacy beliefs. Moreover, regression analysis conducted shown that the 5 demographic variables when taken together had significant effects on the teachers’ sense of efficacy; however teachers’ educational qualification made the strongest significant contribution to their self-efficacy beliefs. Among other things, it was recommended that longitudinal studies should be conducted to track the changes in teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs over time.
