Perceived self-efficacy and its relationship to managing behavioral problems among teachers of the visually impaired at the Blind Association in Benghazi

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the nature of the relationship between perceived self-efficacy and behavioral problem management among teachers of students with visual impairments at the Blind Association in Benghazi. The study employed a descriptive-analytical correlational design, with a sample consisting of 26 male and female teachers. Two instruments were utilized: the Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale for Teachers and the Behavioral Problem Management Scale. The findings revealed that the level of perceived self-efficacy was moderate (66.97%), as was the level of behavioral problem management (63.46%). Furthermore, the results indicated a statistically significant positive correlation between the two variables (r = 0.682, p < 0.01). In contrast, no statistically significant differences were found attributable to gender, years of experience, or educational qualification.
