Abstract
The aim of this research is to examine the extent of pre-service preschool teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs and elicit the relationship between their sub-dimensions of life goals, and various variables. For this purpose, data were collected from a total of 465 university students. The data on the dependent variables were obtained using Life Goal Scale. The data on the independent variables were obtained using the Pre-school Teachers Self-Efficacy Beliefs Scale. The study employed one of the general survey models, the relational survey model. The participant teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs and life goals are analysed according to some variables and the relationships between them are investigated. In the analysis of data, the Simple Linear Regression Analysis was used. According to the research findings, it was found that the relation between teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs and personal development and social responsibility sub-dimensions of Life Goals Scale was significant at p < 0.05.
Keywords: Pre-service preschool teachers, teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs, life goals.
