Abstract
AbstractThe study aimed to explore the influence of professional expertise on the sense of efficacy of teachers, selecting 185 elementary school teachers in Talaingod District, Davao del Norte as respondents using stratified random sampling. Employing a non-experimental quantitative research design with a descriptive-correlational method, the data collected were analyzed using Mean, Pearson Moment Product Correlation, and regression analysis. The findings indicated that both professional expertise and the sense of efficacy among these teachers were extensive. Correlation analysis showed a significant relationship between professional expertise and teacher efficacy, while regression analysis identified environmental control and self-disclosure as significant predictors of teacher efficacy. The study recommends that DepEd allocate resources for continuous, high-quality professional development tailored to teachersneeds. This research contributes to the understanding of factors influencing teacher efficacy and underscores the importance of targeted professional development programs. Further utilization of these findings through publication in reputable research journals is suggested. Keywords: Educational management, professional expertise, sense of efficacy of teachers, regression analysis, Davao del Norte, Philippines.
