| Abstract | This study investigates the enhancement of self-efficacy among public-school elementary teachers through Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). It addresses four research questions: (1) self-efficacy levels and concerns, (2) strategies for addressing self-efficacy concerns, (3) changes in self-efficacy after CBT, and (4) a proposed CBT-based guidance program. Using a mixed-methods explanatory design, 101 teachers from five schools in San Jose del Monte, Bulacan, participated. Out of the 101 teachers, 5 agreed to undergo counseling sessions using Cognitive Behavior Therapy. The quantitative analysis of the results of the New General Self-efficacy Scale reveals the teachers' moderate to high self-efficacy levels. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test confirms significant improvement in self-efficacy scores post-Cognitive Behavior Therapy. Prominent teachers’ concerns include responsibilities, computer knowledge, aging, and task alignment. Strategies like seeking help and adjusting workloads are adopted. Cognitive Behavior Therapy sessions yielded a substantial score increase, supported by positive shifts in perspectives. This study contributes to the understanding of teacher self-efficacy and provides practical insights for educators, administrators, and policymakers seeking to promote teachers’ psychological well-being and professional effectiveness. Furthermore, it highlights the potential of Cognitive Behavior Therapy as an effective intervention for enhancing self-efficacy and addresses the need for tailored guidance programs to support teachers' holistic development. |
