Teaching Self-Efficacy of Agriculture Trainers as an Antecedent of Teaching Positive affects Variability Using Partial Least Square Modeling

Drawing on self-efficacy theory this applied study, which its data were collected through a survey, was aimed to investigate variability of positive affects using dimensions of teaching self-efficacy among agriculture trainers. Statistical population was consisted of 210 agriculture thinners of applied scientific centers of higher education in Tehran and Alborz Province which 130 cases randomly was selected according to finite correction population formula. Research instrument was a standard questionnaire which its face, construct and discriminant validity was confirmed and amount of Cronbach's alpha and composite reliability was satisfied. Statistical dominant structural equation modeling method which employing was partial least squares (PLS) method, the results showed that self-efficacy in motivate students and Maintain Discipline could result in positive affect while teaching and at situations which is called as a teacher. Also it was clarified that having self-efficacy in education could result in positive affect at situations which is called as a teacher.
