Abstract:
The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between science literacy levels and
self-efficacy belief levels of science teachers in secondary school science teachers. In the
study, the survey model was used since the existing science literacy levels of the teachers
were determined. Data collection tools are “Self Efficacy Belief Scale on Scientific
Literacy” ; “Test of Basic Scientific Literacy” and “Personel Information Form”. Statistical
package program was used in the analysis of data. There was a low positive correlation
between science literacy test scores and self efficacy beliefs (r = 0.116). However, this
relationship was not significant (p> .05). In addition, data were collected from the personal
information form about science teachers' gender, education level, graduation department,
service period, and scientific journal follow-up. The relationship between these variables
and self efficacy beliefs about science literacy and science literacy was examined. In the
study, the relationship between science literacy test scores and educational level variable of
science teachers was found to be significant. It has been concluded that there is no
significant relationship between science teachers’ self efficacy beliefs about science
literacy and gender, education level, graduation department, service period, and scientific
journal follow-up variables.
