Öz

Bu araştırmanın amacı, öğretim liderliği ile öğretmen öz yeterliği arasındaki ilişkide öğretmen yansıtma davranışının aracılık rolünü tespit etmektir. Toplam 394 öğretmenden veri toplanarak gerçekleştirilen bu kesitsel çalışmada, Yapısal Eşitlik Modellemesi (YEM) kullanılarak araştırma değişkenleri arasındaki bağlantıların tahmin edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma bulguları, okul müdürünün öğretim liderliği ile öğretmen öz yeterliği arasında pozitif yönlü ve anlamlı bir ilişki olduğunu göstermektedir. Ayrıca araştırma bulguları, öğretmen yansıtma davranışının bu ilişkide anlamlı bir kısmi aracılık rolü oynadığını göstermektedir. Mevcut çalışmanın bulguları, öğretim liderliğinin öğretmen öz yeterliğini etkilemedeki belirgin rolünü doğrulamaktadır. Bununla birlikte araştırma bulguları, öğretmen yansıtmasını teşvik etmenin, öğretim liderlerinin öğretmen öz yeterliğini artırmak için anahtar bir ara hedef olarak öne çıktığını göstererek uluslararası alanyazına katkı sunmaktadır. Araştırma sonuçlarına dayanarak politika ve uygulamaya dönük bazı çıkarımlar sunulmuştur.

Investigating the Link Between Instructional Leadership and Teacher Self-Efficacy: The Mediation Role of Teacher Reflection

Öz

This study tested a mediation model of instructional leadership’s empirical association with teacher self-efficacy with the mediation of teacher reflection. Gathering data from 394 teachers, this cross-sectional study employed Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to estimate the structural links between study variables. The results revealed a positive and significant empirical relationship between principal instructional leadership and teacher self-efficacy and an indirect connection through the mediation of teacher reflection. While our study substantiates the salient role of instructional leadership in influencing teacher self-efficacy, it also adds nuanced evidence to the global literature by suggesting that promoting teacher reflection has featured as a key intermediate goal for school principals to elevate teacher self-efficacy. Based on our results, we provide several implications for policy and practice.
