Part II. Assessment of teacher’s self-efficacy in STEM Education

Please, answer the following questions by putting a tick mark to the best option.

Collective self-efficacy in STEM can be measured from an individual perspective (teachers as a unit), aggregating the individual
member’s appraisals of their personal capabilities to execute the particular functions they perform in the group; or from a group
perspective (teachers as a unit), aggregating members’ appraisals of their group’s capability operating as a whole (Bandura, 2000).
