Abstract

The objective of the study was to investigate the predictive power of sources of teacher efficacy beliefs on Economics teachers’ efficacy beliefs in the implementation of the SHS Economics curriculum. Random selection of 123 SHS Economics teachers from the Western Region of Ghana was surveyed for the study. Our empirical analysis from the multiple linear regression revealed the following key findings: First, mastery experiences appeared to have the strongest and positive predictive power of Economics teachers’ efficacy beliefs in the implementation of SHS Economics curriculum but such predictive power is not significant under the prevailing teacher characteristics of SHS Economics teachers in the Region. Secondly, social persuasions and physiological states remained the primary sources of Economics teachers’ efficacy beliefs for efficacies in instructional strategies and classroom management while vicarious experiences have the strongest predictive power on Economics teachers’ efficacy in students’ engagement. Based on the results, conclusions and recommendations were provided.
