Abstract

This research aims to analyze the differences in self-perceived of the efficacy of Primary School teachers according to the self-perceived level of development of teaching skills. In a sample of N = 33 teachers of Primary School teachers in Valladolid was applied to the Likert scale ECAD -EP (Valdivieso, Carbonero and Martín-Antón, 2013) to measure the applied self-assessment of teaching skills in three dimensions (a. Social-emotional , b. Communicative and Relationship, c. Instructional) and a self-assessment of the level of teaching effectiveness rating scale adapted by Sunjin Oh (2011) created by Tschannen-Moran and Woolfolk (2001): Teacher Sense of Efficacy Scale (TSES). Descriptive statistical calculations and mean comparison (U and W tests) were made. The results revealed significant differences in all dimensions, especially in the instructional factor. We conclude the need to develop training programs for teachers in the potential development of teaching skills in order to increase levels of self-efficacy and thereby the development of quality in education.
