Teachers' Self-efficacy and Implementation of the Ghanaian Language and Culture Curriculum

Abstract

This study aimed at exploring the perceived efficacy beliefs of teachers in implementing the Ghanaian Language and Culture curriculum in the North and South Danyi District of the Volta region. To achieve this, the descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. Data was collected through a questionnaire and analysed with descriptive (Means and Standard Deviation) and inferential statistics (Independent Samples t-test, ANOVA, and Regression). The study revealed that Ghanaian Language teachers exhibited a high sense of efficacy in implementing the Ghanaian language and Culture curriculum. It was further established in this study that the self-efficacy beliefs of the Ghanaian Language teachers predicted their fidelity in implementing the Ghanaian language and Culture curriculum. Finally, the study found no statistically significant difference in the self-efficacy beliefs among Ghanaian Language teachers based on gender, age, and teaching experience.
