Özet

Teachers' sense of efficacy has become an important concept in both teacher education and in the teaching profession. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there were multiple relationships between the sense of self-efficacy (a dependent variable) and student control orientations and also between styles of coping with stress and attitudes toward the teaching profession among prospective teachers. The findings showed that there was a noticeable direct and indirect relationship between self-efficacy beliefs and student control orientations and between styles of coping with stress and attitudes toward teaching.
