This app is designed to provide you a tool to check your sense of self-efficacy beliefs, a construct that is associated with teacher effectiveness (Klassen, et al., 2011) and well-being (Barni, et al., 2019). Research shows that your self-efficacy beliefs guide your future classroom behaviours (Usher & Pajares, 2008), which consequently increases your students’ learning outcomes (Beck, 2014). Your honest and thorough self-assessment of the various factors that predicts your self-efficacy will generate an output that will link to professional development resource which outlines strategies for you to implement to help further enhance your self-efficacy.

e-TSEC is a contemporary application designed to provide teachers a self-assessment tool for their self-efficacy beliefs, adaptability, stress, perceived autonomy support, job satisfaction and social-emotional learning comfort during challenging times. The system is currently being developed as part of the research project entitled “Enhancing teachers’ self-efficacy in implementing the DepEd developmental framework during COVID-19 pandemic: Development and application of a mobile app to address their professional development needs”.
The e-TSEC application, through teachers’ self-assessment, is capable of generating an output that highlights which essential factors need to be addressed to be more effective and efficient in implementing the DepEd framework. This has immense benefits not only at a personal level but more importantly at an organisational level where each school can have a strong focus on their professional development targeting those deficit factors by individual teachers.
The application will be pilot tested for two months where volunteer teachers will be asked to use it to track their development. The collected data along with a series of consultations with various stakeholders will provide a policy brief to the Department of Education that outlines processes, activities, support and resources needed by teachers. The app will be formally turned over to the Department of Education for potential scalability of use to support teachers to effectively and efficiently ensure equity to access to education, enhance the quality of education and implement a responsive governance in the time of pandemic and other related disruptions to school functions.
This project is funded by the Australian Government through the Australia Awards Alumni Engagement Program (AAAEP).
