Kieftenbeld, Vincent; Natesan, Prathiba; Eddy, Colleen – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2011
The mathematics teaching efficacy beliefs of preservice elementary teachers have been the subject of several studies. A widely used measure in these studies is the Mathematics Teaching Efficacy Beliefs Instrument (MTEBI). The present study provides a detailed analysis of the psychometric properties of the MTEBI using Bayesian item response theory.…
