The purpose of this study was two-fold:
(1) to test the factor structure of a recently developed Norwegian scale for measuring teacher self-efficacy, and
(2) to explore relations between teachers' perception of the school context, teacher self-efficacy, collective teacher efficacy, teacher burnout, teacher job satisfaction, and teachers' beliefs that factors external to teaching puts limitations to what they can accomplish.
2249 Norwegian teachers in elementary school and middle school participated in this study.
The data were analyzed by means of structural equation modelling using the AMOS 7 program.
Teacher self-efficacy, collective efficacy and two dimensions of burnout were differently related both to school context variables and to teacher job satisfaction.
