Utilizing a theoretical intervention to examine factors influencing teacher efficacy toward assessment and an alternate statistical consideration for program evaluation

In this research, a model of teachers’ efficacy posed by Tschannen-Moran, Woolfolk-Hoy, and Hoy (1998) is considered with regard to teachers’ use of standardized assessment data. This study is timely because teachers are expected to utilize standardized test scores, but they are often underprepared...
