Self-Efficacy in the Pre-Gradual Training of Occupational Subject Teachers

The study presents a survey of perceived teacher self-efficacy on a sample of future and beginning Slovak secondary school teachers in two research approaches. The research aimed to find out the perceived professional proficiency of teacher students and future teachers in didactic readiness in the context of positive psychology. The obtained data from both groups were compared with foreign research results in this area.
