Objectives: The purpose of the study was to investigate the correlation between self-esteem, self-efficacy, and awareness for disability in dental hygiene students. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was completed by 521 dental hygiene students from 5 universities in Gwangju and Jeonnam frm June 13 to July 16, 2016. The questionnaire consisted of self-esteem by Rosenberg (10 items), self-efficacy by Schwarzer (7 items), and the negative awareness for disabled person by Siller (24 items) using Likert 5 point scale. Results: Those who did volunteer activity for disabled person showed high self-esteem and self-efficacy than those who did not. Students having disability-related training experience had high self-esteem (p<0.05). Higher the self-esteem was, higher the self-efficacy was (r=0.655). Higher the self-efficacy was, the lower the negative awareness was (r=-0.142). Higher self-esteem enhanced the positive awareness for the disabled person (r=-0.206)(p<0.01).

The research method was a survey method using a questionnaire. The subjects were 632 college students (male: 302, female: 330) living in Seoul area. Statistical analysis methods were factor analysis, Cronbach's ${\alpha}$-reliability coefficient, t-test, ${\chi}^2$-test, one-way ANOVA, Duncan's multiple range test, Pearson's product-moment correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis. The self-efficacy factor derived four categories including self-control efficacy, social self-efficacy, physical self-efficacy, and task difficulty preference. The college students who were in higher social stratification and older had more appearance management behavior, and those who had lower task difficulty preference and lower physical self-efficacy had more plastic surgery management. Both men and women who had higher self-control efficacy had more clothing management. Women who had higher self-control efficacy, social self-efficacy, and task difficulty preference had more appearance management expenses.

The self-efficacy of pre-service teachers has been reported as a major factor in the instruction of the curriculum. In particular, considering the importance of science learning instruction for underrepresented students from the viewpoint of science education for all, pre-service elementary teachers' self-efficacy about science instruction for underrepresented students will be an important factor of science education for these students. The purpose of this study is to investigate the self-efficacy of pre-service elementary teachers in science instruction for underrepresented students. To this end, the science teaching and learning self-efficacy test tool (Lee & Im, 2010) was revised in accordance with the context of science teaching for underrepresented students into a total of 24 items using 5 Likert scales. Through using the test tool consists of 3 dimensions as Learning Efficacy, Teaching Efficacy and Outcome Expectancy, 81 pre-service elementary teachers were surveyed and the reliability of test tool was verified through factor analysis and assessing construct validity by using the responses. As a result of the analysis, setting 5 as the standard perfect score, the average score of self-efficacy per dimension was shown as 3.29 in Learning Efficacy, 2.89 in Teaching Efficacy, and 3.39 in Outcome Expectancy. We confirmed the tendency and difference of self-efficacy of the research objects according to their background factors in which direct and indirect experience relating to the science education for the underrepresented students. Also, we verified that pre-service elementary teachers' interest in science subject matter, teaching science and their perception of the value of science learning had significant relations with self-efficacy on science teaching for underrepresented students.

The collected data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 22.0 program to compute frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation and conduct t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe's test, Pearson Correlation Coefficient, and multiple regression analysis. Results : The nursing students had average academic self-efficacy of 3.10±.42, communication ability of 3.78±.53, and self-leadership of 3.16±.44. Among the self-leadership sub-factors, self-reward was the highest with 3.94±.74 points. The academic self-efficacy of the subjects demonstrated a significant difference according to happiness index (F=8.83, p<.001) and health (F=3.38, p=.035). The communication ability showed a significant difference depending on year of study (F=5.62, p<.001), happiness index (F=5.95, p<.001), and experience of clinical training (t=-3.57, p<.001). The self-leadership demonstrated a significant difference according to year of study (F=4.28, p=.006), satisfaction with major (F=7.37, p<.001), happiness index (F=3.68, p=.013), and experience of clinical training (t=-3.41, p<.001). A positive correlation was observed between the subject's academic self-efficacy and communication ability (r=.40, p<.001), as well as the academic self-efficacy and self-leadership (r=.45, p<.001). The communication ability (𝛽=.36, p<.001) was proven to be the strongest influential factor on the self-leadership, followed by academic self-efficacy (𝛽=.28, p<.001), satisfaction with major (𝛽=.13, p=.011), and experience of clinical training (𝛽=.13, p=.013). Conclusion : This study results imply that repeated studies that investigate the nursing students' academic self-efficacy, communication ability, and self-leadership are required.
