摘要
This study explored the predictive relations among early childhood educators' years of teaching experience, personality traits, and classroom management self-efficacy belief. Participants were n = 395 early childhood educators (ECEs) from preschools and childcare centres located primarily in Ontario, Canada. Results showed positive relations between years of teaching experience and classroom management self-efficacy. As well, ECEs' personality predicted their classroom management self-efficacy above and beyond years of teaching experience. Higher levels of extraversion and openness to experience were found to uniquely predict greater classroom management self-efficacy. Results are discussed in terms of the implications for improving ECEs' classroom management self-efficacy.
