Abstract

Stephens & Crawley (1994) provides five types of competences with six sub sections to be an effective teacher. These competences are, namely, subject knowledge (related to how well a teacher knows a subject taught in class), teaching subject (teaching a subject well), classroom management (teaching the subject purposefully so that effective learning is ensured and the order in class is achieved), assessment and recording students' learning (keeping an account of students' level of attainment and systematized account of students' performances), and following professional development (teaching education program considered as the first and important step in the continuous professional development of teachers). As can be noticed, one of the most important competences is classroom management.

Therefore, teachers' levels of classroom management skills control based on teachers' sense of self-efficacy is an important issue that should be investigated since teacher responsibility perception affects both teachers' classroom management skills and is affected by classroom management skills, which is a factor that directly affects students' success. This study aims to analyze the effect of classroom management course on responsibility perception of student teachers for student achievement. 215 student teachers participated in the study which is prepared according to one group pre- and post-test design, one of the pre-experimental designs. In this study, the f
