Teaching is a profession in which the majority of educators' work is scrutinised for its effectiveness and accuracy in pushing children to their highest levels of performance and development. Self-Efficacy is the degree to which one believes in one's own ability to perform in any situation. For the purposes of this study, self-efficacy will be defined as a person's perceived ability to establish and complete daily classroom operations (Bandura, 1997). On various levels, teachers have expressed their dissatisfaction with a perceived lack of support in the classroom. Teachers who are involved in the curriculum and instruction planning and development phases are less likely to have trouble creating a classroom culture that caters to all students' interests and needs (Sivri & Balci, 2015).
The process by which a teacher engages in building and establishing rapport with students is inextricably linked to his or her perceived self-efficacy. Teacher efficacy has an impact on instructional strategies in addition to the classroom environment. A dominant factor in the learning process can be a teacher's efficacy (Sivri & Balci, 2015).
The main problems that are stated in the study are the management of the learning environment, including student engagement in the classes, and the successful execution of rigorous curriculum, is a general problem for veteran and novice teachers. The specific problem to be addressed in the research study is the efficacy beliefs of novice and veteran teachers and how the level of teacher self-efficacy may lead to teacher performance in the classroom (Benigno, 2016). Teachers who demonstrate high self-efficacy tend to be amiable in their tactics to differentiated instructional strategies (Shoulders & Krei, 2015).

For the purpose of this study, a novice teacher will be defined as teachers with 0-3 years of teaching experience and a veteran teacher will be defined as teachers with more than three years of experience (Hattie, 2012). Evidence addressing self-efficacy may immerge that will provide insights into any differences between novice and veteran teachers and how they self-report on the Teacher Sense of Efficacy Scale (TSES). The finding of the study may be used to create a better teacher evaluation system. Additionally, the research study may assist administrators in identifying ways in which to support teachers who have high or low self-efficacy to be effective within the classroom in ways that increase student engagement and achievement.
The significance of the study was filling up the missing literature and the chance could make a good practice for school administrators as finding may be used to guide the development and implementation of professional development programs designed to address the needs of novice and veteran teachers more effectively. The study could also make an insight in the teachers and the collected data can be used by the different school in different methods for the...
