Abstract:

This study examined the self-efficacy of student teachers with regard to gender and residence in Sankarankovil Taluk of Tirunelveli District by surveying 300 student teachers. The present study was conducted on a sample of 300 student teachers studying in colleges of education in Sankarankovil Taluk of Tirunelveli District. Data was collected with the help of self-efficacy scale constructed and standardized by investigators. The major findings of the study reveal that student teachers do not differ significantly on self-efficacy with regard to residence. But there is significant difference between male and female student teachers in their self efficacy. The mean difference in analysis showed that male student teachers have greater self-efficacy than female students teachers.
