Teacher efficacy and its relationship to classroom management style among secondary school teachers of Kigali city, Rwanda
The purpose of this study was to examine relationship between each level of teacher efficacy and different components of classroom management style (instructional management, people management and behavior management).  This study investigated whether or not teachers are differing in classroom management styles and level of efficacy with reference to their gender.  One hundred and fifty teachers completed a standard teacher efficacy scale developed by Anita and Hoy (1990) and Attitude and Belief on Classroom control Inventory (ABCC) developed by Martin, Yin and Bardwin.(1997). Te results of the study revealed that the whole teacher efficacy had direct influence over classroom management, where as the teacher efficacy increased, Classroom management also increased linearly and significantly. It has been also found that male teachers were found to have higher levels on management than female teachers except for behavioral management and finally, most of the gender differences existed in the low teacher efficacy levels on management scores.
