Abstract
Theoretical chapters summarize the current state of self-efficacy knowledge in developed countries. They also show what the ways of further developing self-efficacy are.
An important component of theoretical chapters is the mapping of international research and its results. An integral part of the monograph is also the presentation of specific Czech research that has been developed over the last five years in the field of self-discipline research in future teachers - students who are preparing for their profession and are at the start of their career.
Discussion of experts on methodological practices in these researches shows the range of possibilities available to recognize self-efficacy. Readers can consult the creation of a single self-efficacy discovery questionnaire, which was created specifically for a group of future kindergarten teachers.
They can follow the shift of research efforts towards qualitative design and use of discussion in focus groups. An important part of the perception and evaluation of self-efficacy among students of teachers programs is the monitoring of their professional development, which they help (in addition to theoretical training subjects), as well as new concepts of educational practices in individual faculties preparing future teachers.
