Abstract Details

2013, Doctor of Education, Ashland University, College of Education.
This study begins to explore the efficacy scores of teachers who are employed in a school that is both failing with regards to state achievement tests as well as one that has been negatively impacted by school choice. The study uses the Ohio State Teacher Efficacy Scale to survey 196 teachers in a large rural school. Analytic tools such as an Independent Sample t-Test as well as a One Way ANOVA were used. The results show that Elementary teachers have a higher efficacy score in Engagement than either Middle or High School teachers. Female educators scored higher in Efficacy of Engagement than Males. Educators with 25 or more years of experience scored higher regarding Efficacy of Management than educators with less than ten years. Educators holding a Masters Plus scored higher with regards to both Efficacy of Engagement and Management than did those teaches who held a Baccalaureate. With regards to overall Global efficacy scores Caucasians scored higher than non-Caucasians; Elementary educators scored higher than both Middle and High school educators; and females scored higher than males.
