One of the basic concepts of Social Learning Theory, "self-efficacy" is defined as "one's" ability to succeed in specific situations". Self-efficacy is a concept that has been studied for a long period with many different disciplines, varying from medicine to economy and from military to education. Although there is a growing body of research around the construct of teacher efficacy in general education settings, only limited research can be found in physical education.
