| Abstract: | The present study was set out to investigate the association between teachers' perception of the quality of their relationships with their students' and teachers' professional self-efficacy. Fifty public school teachers were asked: (a) to assess their perceived levels of efficacy and (b) to randomly select eight students from their classrooms (4 males and 4 females) for whom (n = 395) to evaluate the quality of their relationships. The two administered instruments were the Teachers' Sense of Efficacy Scale [Tschannen-Moran and Hoy. 2001. "Teacher Efficacy: Capturing an Elusive Construct. Teaching and Teacher Education" 17 (7): 783-805] and the Teacher--Student Relationship Inventory (TSRI; Ang. 2005. "Development and Validation of the Teacher--Student Relationship Inventory Using Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis. The Journal of Experimental Education" 74 (1): 55-74). Initially, the psychometric properties of the TSRI were examined. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the Greek version of TSRI has the same three-factor structure reported in other cultures. Multilevel analysis revealed that teachers' beliefs were not related to any of the TSRI dimensions. Teachers' and students' gender seem to affect teachers' perceptions of their relationships with their students. |
