Self-Efficacy Metric for the Attainment of the Standards for Teachers (SEMAST)
About the SEMAST Instrument
This instrument has been developed by Dr. Marilyn Ubiña-Balagtas for use of the RA10612 participants trained by the Philippine Normal University and the National Network of Normal Schools (3NS). Anyone who sees this valuable to teaching, training, and assessment may use it provided that proper citation is given to the developer.
Purpose
The self-assessment instrument is designed for use of those who are being trained to join the teaching profession and those who are already teaching. The instrument could be used as a measure of their belief of their capability in attaining the standards set for beginning and proficient teachers as defined in the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST). It is important for a teacher to meet the standards of the teaching profession as this is a possible basis in designing their professional development programs and in gauging the effectiveness of their instruction.
