Type: article
Abstract: The aim of this study is to explore the relationship betweenlearning and behaviour among Malaysian science teachers after attending theIn-Service Teachers Training Programme of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)which was mediated by their self-efficacy. The four-level model of Kirkpatrickwas applied to evaluate training effectiveness at two levels, learning andbehaviour based on the application of Bandura’s social cognitivetheory. Multiple regression analyses indicate that self-efficacy mediatedthe relationship between learning (Knowledge, Skills, Attitude change) andbehaviour. One of the practical implications emerging from this study is theimportance of promoting and encouraging teacher participation in hand-on andHOTS-oriented activities. Such activities not only develop theirself-confidence, but enhance their self-efficacy when implementing teaching andlearning innovations related to HOTs. In terms of modification of thefour-level model, the school organiser of the HOTS Programme should alsoinclude “self-efficacy” in the evaluation process in order to improve itseffectiveness.
