Classroom Management and Leadership among EFL instructors: Self-Efficacy, Strengths, and Improvement Areas

Öz

The present study investigated tertiary-level English as a Foreign Language Teachers’/Instructors’ beliefs and perceptions of classroom management, discipline, and leadership in the classroom. In order to achieve this aim, EFL instructors completed the Teacher Self-efficacy in Classroom Management and Discipline Scale and two other open-ended questions asking them about their strengths and areas of improvement in classroom management and leadership. As revealed by the findings, EFL teachers reported their teaching and classroom management self-efficacy as somewhat high, while their view of external influences was neutral. Regarding the role of background variables, only, the experience was found to positively affect the self-reported measure of classroom management and discipline self-efficacy. Analysis of the qualitative data from the responses to open-ended questions further corroborated and expanded the quantitative data revealing diverse perspectives regarding EFL teachers’ strengths and areas of improvement in managing their classrooms more effectively.
