| description | There has been significant research interest over the years in evaluating instructors' self-efficacy. Teacher self-efficacy reflects
the confidence teachers have in their capacity to positively impact student achievement. This study seeks to develop a reliable
and valid scale specifically designed to measure the modelling self-efficacy of mathematics teachers (MSES). We chose a mixed
methods approach to harness the benefits of both qualitative and quantitative research techniques. The process began with
collecting qualitative data through expert interviews, followed by the acquisition of quantitative data through a survey. The
qualitative data will be analyzed using thematic analysis, while Rasch analysis will be applied to the quantitative data. The
psychometric properties of the MSES will be evaluated using Winstep software. The qualitative findings identified six key
components: modelling cycle knowledge efficacy, modelling task knowledge efficacy, pedagogical efficacy, assessment efficacy,
and technology software efficacy. The instrument demonstrated excellent person reliability (.99) and separation (8.70). A floor
effect was observed for 1 person (.4%). All items showed a satisfactory fit to the Rasch model. The raw variance explained by the
measures was 73.6% (with 67.3% explained by persons and 6.2% by items). However, the instrument did not perform well in
terms of item targeting. Person measures ranged from -8.78 to 5.48, with a mean (M) of 2.43, a standard deviation (SD) of 2.90,
and a standard error (SE) of 0.1. The research suggests a pressing need for comprehensive reforms in curriculum design, professional development, assessment practices, and instructional strategies to improve the effectiveness of mathematical
modeling instruction in Malaysia. |
