| Collective efficacy is a stronger predictive factor in school success than race, gender mix or socio-economic status of students (Goddard et al., 2004); yet instructional design research is silent on the application of collective efficacy principles to instructional design processes. This research creates a connection between collective efficacy and instruction design through the development of a list of collective efficacy antecedents that were applicable to instructional design processes. Through a Delphi research methodology utilizing experts from instructional design and collective efficacy fields, twelve collective efficacy antecedents were found to be applicable to instructional design processes. These twelve antecedents were organized into three categories according to the level at which they are applicable to instructional design: Leadership/Interface, Group/Team, and Personal/Learner. |
