A study on Korean language teachers' sense of efficacy

This paper examines what makes a Korean language teacher efficient in the classroom in terms of teachers' sense of efficacy. To investigate Korean language teachers' sense of efficacy, OSTES(Ohio State Univ. Teacher efficacy scale) is translated and revised to be applied to KFL field. And to decide relevant factors of the Korean language teacher, preliminary survey was made by 20 Korean teachers. There are 164 in-service Korean language teachers included in the formal survey. The average score of Korean language teachers' sense of efficacy is 6.44 out of 9 and efficacy in instructional strategy is higher than efficacy in classroom management or efficacy in student engagement. Research has been conducted on the statistical relationship between factors of Korean teachers and teachers' sense of efficacy. As a result, more experienced teachers generally show higher efficacy and the number of students teachers teach at the same time meaningfully affects teachers' sense of efficacy. Furthermore, the average salary of the teachers correlates with teachers' sense of efficacy. Reeducation experiences, teacher positions and certificates for a Korean teacher and motivating factor to be a Korean teacher don't show statistical meaningfulness in connection with teachers' sense of efficacy.
