Makale Özeti:

In a country like Pakistan (and similar developing countries) where teachers are not represented in decision
making bodies and perception of the profession itself is low; a broader question which needs to be deliberated
upon is how is it possible ‘to produce’ teachers/teacher-educators who ‘think they are able’ to make a
difference? A case study of a Masters in Education program at one of the private universities of Pakistan was
carried out in order to explore the link between teacher education and their level of self-efficacy. One would
expect that with the systematic exploration of school improvement related issues and concerns, the graduates
understanding of what makes teachers/teacher educators more efficacious will grow and so will their faith in
themselves. With this premise the specific purpose of the research was to assess whether the Masters in
Education program at the university had changed the perceptions of teacher graduates about their own ability
to effect educational change? The data for the study was collected at two points in time, i.e., entry into the
program (Time 1) and exit (Time 2) and consisted of responses to the six subscales of Bandura’s teachers’ self
efficacy scale. The pre-test provided a base against which the post-test scores were measured. The findings
suggest that the two year Masters in Education program at the university did bring about changes in the
perceptions of graduating students about their efficacy as change agents. Implications of the findings for
teacher education are also discussed.
