The present study was conducted to investigate the changes
in self efficacy of prospective teachers during a professional teacher
training program. Self efficacy is the personal judgment or belief of
how well one can execute the courses of actions required to deal with
prospective situations. Researches support that teachers’ self efficacy
has been found to be one of the important variables related to positive
teaching behaviors and students’ achievement. Teachers with high self
efficacy work harder and persist longer even when students are difficult
to teach. It was hypothesized that the professional teacher training
program would bring positive changes in self efficacy of prospective
teachers. To test this hypothesis the researchers conducted a cross
sectional study to investigate the changes in students during a
professional teacher training program. For this purpose the researchers
developed a questionnaire on five point (likert type scale) to measure
the self efficacy of previous (before final year) and final year students
of two year professional teacher training program. A sample of 289
prospective teachers was conveniently selected, out of which 146
students were selected from previous (before final year) and 143
students from final year. Data Analysis was conducted through t test,
which showed that there was a significant difference between the
previous (before final year) and final year students’ sense of self
efficacy. Moreover significant gender difference was also found.
