Little is known about the relative strength of the effects of teacher self-efficacy and interest on teaching quality when compared with one another. We extend previous research on teacher motivation by examining the relations linking mathematics teacher self-efficacy and interest with several relevant dimensions of teaching quality as perceived by teachers and students. Participants were 84 mathematics teachers (61.2\% female) and their students (1718 students; 48.5\% girls). Based on doubly latent multilevel models, we found that teacher-reported self-efficacy in instruction was positively related to teacher-reported cognitive activation, classroom management, and emotional support in mathematics classrooms. Teacher-reported educational interest showed positive associations with both student- and teacher-perceived emotional support. Future research is advised to focus more strongly on the unique relations between different teachers' motivational characteristics and relevant dimensions of teaching quality.}, language = {en} } @article{LazaridesFauthGaspardetal.2021, author = {Lazarides, Rebecca and Fauth, Benjamin and Gaspard, Hanna and G{\"o}llner, Richard}, title = {Teacher self-efficacy and enthusiasm}, series = {Learning and instruction : the journal of the European Association for Research on Learning and Instruction}, volume = {73}, journal = {Learning and instruction : the journal of the European Association for Research on Learning and Instruction}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Oxford}, issn = {0959-4752}, doi = {10.1016/j.learninstruc.2020.101435}, pages = {10}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Teaching quality is a key factor in student academic success, but few studies have investigated how teaching quality changes at the beginning of secondary education and how such changes are predicted by dimensions of teacher motivation. This study investigated the changes in class-level student perceptions of teaching quality over one school year at the beginning of secondary school and examined how teachers? self-efficacy and enthusiasm predicted such changes. Data from 1996 students (53.8\% male; mean age: 11.09 years, SD = 0.55) and their homeroom teachers (N = 105), who were surveyed at the beginning of Grades 5 and 6, were analyzed. Results showed a significant decline in class-level student-perceived emotional support, classroom management, and instructional clarity. Teacher-reported self-efficacy was not significantly related to changes in teaching quality. Teacher-reported enthusiasm buffered the decline in students? class-level classroom management.}, language = {en} } @article{LazaridesBuchholzRubach2017, author = {Lazarides, Rebecca and Buchholz, Janine and Rubach, Charlott}, title = {Teacher enthusiasm and self-efficacy, student-perceived mastery goal orientation, and student motivation in mathematics classrooms}, series = {Teaching and Teacher Education}, volume = {69}, journal = {Teaching and Teacher Education}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Oxford}, issn = {0742-051X}, doi = {10.1016/j.tate.2017.08.017}, pages = {1 -- 10}, year = {2017}, abstract = {The purpose of this study is to examine whether teacher enthusiasm and classroom management self efficacy are related to classroom mastery orientation and student motivation.

Yet, little is known about these relations in elementary school. The present study examined the longitudinal effects of teachers' self-efficacy on student-perceived teacher support and students' mathematics interest with a sample of 2082 students and 133 teachers in third and fourth grade. Results revealed that teachers' self-efficacy was longitudinally related to student-perceived support, which in turn was positively related to students' interest. The findings underline the relevance of teachers' self-efficacy beliefs and teacher support for the development of students' interest in elementary school.}, language = {en} }
