Teachers’ self-efficacy a key booster to selfesteem : case study : 29 teachers of the English language at the languages’Department, English section, Sidi Bel Abbes

Abstract EN

This article investigates the role of self-efficacy in developing self-esteem.

It particularly tries to rejuvenate the linkage between teachers’ self-efficacy and self-esteem throughout furnishing a practical vision of the combination of both concepts.

With the purpose to reveal the importance of teachers’ self-efficacy in enhancing teachers’ professional self-esteem, a questionnaire including dichotomous questions, closed format and leading questions was distributed to a number of 29 teachers, at the pre-selected English department, at the Djilali Liabes University, Sidi bel Abbes, Algeria.

The majority of those teachers claim their understanding to the self-efficacy notion.

However, not all of them recognize neither its significance nor its attachment to their professional self-esteem.

Therefore, the extant paper attempts to present an analysis of teachers’ distinct perceptions and attitudes.

Finally, some solutions are suggested as to improve both teachers’ self-efficacy and self-esteem.
