Teachers’ Self-Efficacy, Alternative Measurement and Assessment Techniques, Diagnostic Branched TreeAbstract
This research is aimed at identifying self- efficacy perceptions of the pre-service science teachers on the one of the alternative measurement and assessment techniques called diagnostic branched tree. The research is carried out 66 pre-service science teachers in 2009- 2010. Perception of Competencies on the Self efficacy perceptions of pre-service teachers on Alternative Measurement and Assessment Techniques scale’s second subscale and the documents which prepared by pre-service science teachers are used for data collection. According to the result of the research, pre-service science teachers perceive themselves efficiency about preparing the diagnostic branched tree, but the documents when evaluated with control list, it is precipitated that pre-service science teachers’ proficiency about preparing diagnostic branched tree is low level.
