Abstract
This study aimed to investigate prospective EFL teachers’ (n=151) efficacy levels in relation to some independent variables. To achieve this aim, the adapted version of the Teacher Sense of Efficacy Scale developed by Tschannen-Moran & Woolffolk-Hoy (2001) was administered to the participants. The results of the study revealed that prospective EFL teachers had high level of efficacy in the subscales of student engagement, instructional strategies and classroom management. Related to gender, undergraduate major, CGPA and practicum experience, the results of this study showed that there was significant relationship between these variables and prospective EFL teachers’ efficacy levels in terms of the subscales of student engagement, instructional strategies and classroom management.
