Journal ArticleDOI
Role of self-efficacy and self-concept beliefs in mathematical problem solving: A path analysis.
Frank Pajares,M. David Miller +1 more
TL;DR: This article found that self-efficacy was more predictive of problem solving than was math self-concept, perceived usefulness of mathematics, prior experience with mathematics, or gender (N = 350).
Journal ArticleDOI
Mathematics self-efficacy and mathematics performances: The need for specificity of assessment.
Frank Pajares,M. David Miller +1 more
TL;DR: The authors found that students' confidence to solve the problems they were later asked to solve was a more powerful predictor of that performance than was either their confidence to perform math-related tasks or to succeed in mathematics-related courses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gender differences in writing self-beliefs of elementary school students.
TL;DR: The authors investigated the nature of gender differences in the writing self-beliefs of elementary school students in Grades 3, 4, and 5 (N = 363) and found that girls were judged superior writers, but there were no gender difference in writing selfefficacy after controlling for writing aptitude.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors That Predict Teachers Staying in, Leaving, or Transferring from the Special Education Classroom
TL;DR: For example, this paper found that teachers who transferred to a different school or district had perceptions of high stress and perceptions of poor school climate and were significantly younger than stayers, while those who left special education teaching primarily due to insufficient certification, perceptions of a high stress, and a perception of poor education climate.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Transition Readiness Assessment Questionnaire (TRAQ): its factor structure, reliability, and validity.
Darien Wood,Gregory S. Sawicki,M. David Miller,Carmen Smotherman,Katryne Lukens-Bull,William C. Livingood,Maria E. Ferris,Dale F. Kraemer +7 more
TL;DR: A 20-item, 5-factor structure for the TRAQ is supported by EFA and CFA on independent samples and has good internal reliability and criterion validity, and additional work is needed to expand or revise the TRAZ subscales and test their predictive validity.
