标题：The constituent elements of collective teacher efficacy beliefs and their contributing factors in different ELT educational contexts: A qualitative study
摘要：The current study aimed at exploring the most prominent constituent elements of collective teacher efficacy beliefs and their contributing factors in the specific context of English language teaching.To this aim, 30 English language teachers and instructors’ perceptions of collective teacher efficacy were inspected through a series of in-depth interviews at different high schools, English language institutes, and universities.Three focused group interviews were also conducted with 15 English language teachers and instructors in those three educational contexts.Data gleaned from interviews were analyzed utilizing thematic content analysis.The common themes that emerged from the qualitative data as the constituent elements of collective teacher efficacy encompassed instructional capability, decision-making capability, the ability to cope with difficult situations, the ability to communicate effectively, the ability to create a positive climate, the ability to collaborate with colleagues, and the ability to keep discipline.Some common themes that emerged as the related contributing factors included job satisfaction, administrative support, and shared leadership.
