The Factors Effecting Student Achievement

Abstract

The effect of collective teacher efficacy on student achievement was examined in this meta-analysis study. A total of 48 studies were collected during the literature review, out of which 35 were included in the meta-analysis. The 35 research studies were compiled to obtain a sample size of 2087 schools. The results of the random effect model showed that collective teacher efficacy has a large-level positive effect on student achievement . In the study, none of the examined set of variables, which included the type of publication , the school level, the tool of data collection and the year of the studies, was found to be a moderator.
