Results showed that Indonesian teacher self- and collective efficacy in teaching Javanese were in a high category, of 72.74% and 72.19% respectively. Moreover, there was a significant with large difference between urban and suburban TSE and CTE. In this case, urban teachers perceived higher TSE and CTEthan suburban teachers. Another finding showed thatteaching motivation was the most significant predictive source that affected the formation of high TSE (β = .241) and CTE (β = .247).
