dc.description.abstractReception, the first year of primary school, involves teachers supporting children’s transition from prior-to-school contexts, while navigating complex early years educational policies and practices. This thesis argues that examining teacher self-efficacy (TSE) is necessary, given evidence that TSE influences children’s achievement, motivation and development of self-efficacy, and teacher wellbeing and job satisfaction. Findings from this multiple case study of eight reception teachers include: the notion of TSE as a malleable construct over time; the ecological influences on TSE formation; designing classroom microsystems for continued TSE development; and importance of leaders in enabling TSE development and practice. The study proposed an Ecological Framework for Teacher Self-Efficacy Development situating TSE formation and continued development within an enabling ecological system.
