Four scales were employed to assess the effects on teachers' sense of efficacy of a year-long inservice teacher training program on cooperative learning methods. One hundred twenty-one teachers from nine junior high schools in one town in Israel responded to the teacher efficacy questionnaire, as well as to a questionnaire assessing the extent to which teachers collaborated with one another. The data were analyzed as a function of three different frequencies with which teachers implemented cooperative learning in their classrooms. Results indicated that teachers who implemented cooperative learning most frequently also expressed a higher level of efficacy in promoting the learning of slow students than did other teachers. Teachers who reported a higher level of collaboration with colleagues also expressed a higher level of general teaching efficacy and of efficacy in enhancing students' social relations, than did teachers who reported a low level of collaboration with colleagues. Regression analyses demonstrated that frequency of implementing cooperative learning and collaboration with colleagues explained the largest portion of the variance in teachers' sense of efficacy, while teachers' background variables accounted for only negligible amounts of variance in teachers' sense of efficacy.
