摘要:This study was to explore the causal relationship among teacher efficacy,teachers' approaches to instruction,and students' achievement goal orientation. Among the 278 6th grade students (average age : 12 years) who completed a self-report questionnaire during the second term,230 (102 boys,128 girls) returmed the completed questionnaire (overall response rate : 82.7%). Measures of teacher efficacy, teachers' approaches to instruction,and students' achievement goal orientation were based on students' perceptions. Structural equation modeling tested relationships among the variables. Findings were that teacher efficacy influenced both students' achievement goal orientation and teachers' approaches to instruction. Teacher efficacy positively influenced teachers' mastery approach to instruction and students' mastery and performance approach goal orientations,whereas teacher efficacy negatively influenced teachers' performance approach to instruction.
