Abstract: The study investigates the impact of the Tara, Basa! Tutoring Program, run by the Department of Social Welfare and Development, on the self-efficacy of second-year Bachelor of Early Childhood Education students at Quezon City University during the first semester of AY 2023-2024. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research assesses how participation in the program influences students’ perceived teaching competence and confidence. Quantitative surveys were used to measure changes in self-efficacy before and after the program, focusing on areas like classroom management and instructional strategies. Qualitative data from interviews or focus groups provided deeper insights into participants’ experiences. Findings show a positive impact on participants’ self-efficacy, with significant improvements in their confidence and perceived teaching abilities. The study highlights the importance of experiential learning programs like Tara, Basa! in shaping the self-efficacy of future educators, offering valuable insights into improving teacher education and early childhood education practices.
