Abstract

The study aimed to examine the predictive ability of self-efficacy towards goal orientations among pre-service teachers. A descriptive survey approach and a convenience sampling method were utilized to gather a sample of 84 pre-service teachers. Data were collected using the General Self-Efficacy Scale (Schwarzer & Jerusalem, 1995) and the Goal Orientation Scale (Elliot & McGregor, 2001). To meet the objectives, the study employed descriptive, correlation, and regression analyses. Correlation analysis revealed positive relationships between self-efficacy and both mastery approach and performance approach, and a negative relationship with mastery avoidance. Regression analysis indicated that self-efficacy did not significantly predict goal orientation. These findings suggest that while self-efficacy is linked to certain goal orientation approaches, it is not a significant predictor of goal orientation among pre-service teachers.
