Exploring the influencing factors of teacher beliefs and their impact on teacher behaviors

This study provides strong evidence supporting the interrelationships among teacher motivation, teacher self-efficacy, teacher beliefs, and teacher behaviors, affirming the importance of teacher beliefs and their central role in improving teacher behaviors. Teacher beliefs not only are related to individual teachers' instructional methods but also are associated with the overall effectiveness of the educational system. Therefore, to enhance educational quality, educational institutions and policymakers should consider designing targeted training and development programs aimed at improving teacher motivation and self-efficacy, while strengthening teachers' positive teacher beliefs to optimize educational outcomes.
