Do teachers’ personality and their self-efficacy have stronger significance in teaching effectiveness?

Abstract

This study reviews key findings on teacher’s psychology, focusing on personality and self-efficacy in relation to teaching quality. Analyzing 16 top-cited Scopus articles, it finds that traits like conscientiousness, extraversion, and emotional stability, along with strong teaching confidence, contribute to effective teaching. It calls for more diverse, cross-cultural research and improved teacher’s training on psychological skills.
