Abstract
The research was descriptive and correlational in terms of data collection. The statistical population consisted of 1917 student teachers in the field of educational sciences at Farhangian University of Sistan and Baluchestan Province. 371 people were selected based on the Cochran formula using a stratified random sampling method. In order to collect data in this study, student teachers responded to the Science Teachers' Teaching Concerns Questionnaire (adapted from Baz, 2008), Science Teachers' Self-Efficacy Beliefs (adapted from Inak and Riggs, 1990), and Constructivist Learning Environment (adapted from Johnson and McKellar, 2004). The reliability values for the Teaching Concerns Questionnaire (0.83), Self-Efficacy Beliefs (0.79), and Constructivist Learning Environment (0.87) were obtained. The construct validity of the questionnaires was also examined and approved through confirmatory and exploratory factor analysis. Findings: The overall results showed that overall the proposed model had an acceptable fit and the data obtained from the sample confirmed the proposed model and all hypotheses were confirmed. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between teaching concerns, self-efficacy beliefs and constructivist learning environment in science lessons from the perspective of elementary school student teachers.
