© 2021 Tania Blatti ; Contemporary research suggests that Collective Teacher Efficacy (CTE) is related to positive student outcomes. The goal of this research was to understand the nature of teachers’ collective efficacy in the context of international schools in Shanghai and specifically its relationship to school structures. An explanatory sequential mixed method design across two linked studies was adopted to explore the key research questions. Study One used a survey and in-depth interviews with 9 expatriate teachers from one school to determine the appropriateness of instruments and the relationship between CTE and school structures. Study Two involved 323 teachers from four international schools. Participants answered an enhanced survey, then interviews were conducted with 13 expatriate teachers. The results indicate that collective efficacy within the international school context is a multidimensional construct involving group operative capabilities. These findings align with Bandura's original intention for the CTE construct and take into account environmental, personal and behavioural factors. Further, the study concludes that utilising this expanded understanding of CTE in international school settings may contribute to increased organisational effectiveness and ultimately benefit the learning lives of students. |
