Invention Education Teachers' Teacher Efficacy and Teaching Creativity Analysis of influencing factors

Abstract

This study aims to identify the teacher factors that affect the quality of education in order to enhance the effectiveness of invention education. We analyzed the factors affecting teacher efficacy and teaching creativity. Teacher efficacy is the belief that teachers themselves can have a positive influence on students, and teaching creativity is an important individual teacher characteristic for creative class management. To this end, a questionnaire was conducted targeting teachers who had completed job training for invention teachers of the Korea Invention Promotion Association, and 165 data were analyzed. The results of the study are as follows: First, there is a positive correlation between teacher efficacy and teaching creativity of teachers in charge of invention education. Second, as a result of verifying the difference in teacher efficacy and teaching creativity according to the personal background of the invention education teachers, it was found that the teaching experience showed a significant difference. Third, it was found that the entire teaching experience of teachers has a positive effect on teacher efficacy and that the career in charge of invention education has an effect on teaching creativity. Accordingly, to improve the quality of invention education, it is necessary to create a cognitive and affective educational environment for teachers to enhance teacher efficacy and teaching creativity. In particular, it is necessary to develop various programs and expand training opportunities to enhance the experience of invention education teachers.
