Investigating the Use of Vicarious and Mastery Experiences in Influencing Early Childhood Education Majors’ Self-Efficacy Beliefs (2011, background): “teacher self-efficacy among the objectives of the science methods courses (Bandura 1997; Bleicher 2007; Cantrell et al. 2003; Jarrett 1999; Scharmann and Orth Hampton 1995; Tosun 2000; Wingfield et al. 2000).”
Enhancing Self-Efficacy in Elementary Science Teaching With Professional Learning Communities (2013, background): “…service learning (Cone 2009), cases and case methods (Yoon et al. 2006), scaffolded, student-directed inquiry (Liang and Richardson 2009), early field experiences in science teaching (Cannon and Scharmann 1996; McDonnough and Matkins 2010), and hands on science activities (Bleicher 2007).”
Reconceptualizing the Sources of Teaching Self-Efficacy: a Critical Review of Emerging Literature (2016, unknown): “Similarly, preservice elementary teachers who enrolled in methods classes designed to support understandings of earth science demonstrated improved conceptual understanding and had higher science teaching self-efficacy (Bleicher 2007; Bleicher and Lindgren 2005).”
Preservice Early Childhood Teachers' Sense of Efficacy for Integrating Mathematics and Science: Impact of a Methods Course (2012, background): “Science content knowledge also emerged as an important factor that related to teachers’ efficacy beliefs (Bleicher, 2007; Schoon & Boone, 1998).”
