The purpose of the study is to review researches on concept, measurement, variables, and influences related to students' learning and achievement of teacher efficacy. Through the review of prior researches, the study illuminates two results about teacher efficacy. One is that the teacher efficacy is consisted of general teaching efficacy and the personal efficacy. The other is that the concept of teacher efficacy is likely to be the properties of situation-specific rather than teacher characteristic. And the study represents that the measurement of teacher efficacy is related to the development of measurement instrument and the extraction of construct. In recent years, the measurement of teacher efficacy tends to include environment factors such as school climates whereas measurement of teacher efficacy in 1970 focused mainly individual aspects such as constructs of both general teaching efficacy and personal teacher efficacy. The effect of teacher efficacy mainly concerns the relationship between teacher efficacy and the students' achievement and the affective traits such as motivation, interests, and attitude, and the relationship between teacher efficacy and teacher.
