Abstract :
Introduction: Variations in perceived teaching quality are associated with high levels of disorders and, consequently, with reduced classroom management by students. The main goal of this research is to investigate the effect of teachers' self-efficacy and enthusiasm on the changes in teaching quality perceived by students. research methodology: This research is of applied type, correlation based on structural equations.The statistical population includes teachers and students of junior high schools in Tunkabon city (297 teachers and 4001 students), among which 165 people were selected through simple random sampling method as the statistical sample of teachers and 355 people were selected as the statistical sample of students through cluster random sampling. The data collection tools were standard questionnaires of teachers' enthusiasm by Lazarides et al. (2019), teachers' self-efficacy by Pretorius et al. (2017) and change in teaching Aldrop et al. (2018). The validity of the research instrument was also confirmed by face validity, content validity and confirmatory factor analysis. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data using the structural equation method using SPSS26 and Smart Pls3 statistical software. Findings: Teacher's self-efficacy and enthusiasm have a significant positive effect on all components of teaching quality (change in emotional support, change in classroom management, and change in educational clarity). The results indicated that self-efficacy with the path coefficient (0.629) and teacher enthusiasm with the path coefficient (0.256) have a significant positive effect on the change of students' perceived teaching quality. Conclusion: Teacher's self-efficacy has the greatest effect on the change in students' perceived teaching quality and it should be taken seriously.
