Attitudes Towards Inclusion

Teachers play an important role in the success of inclusive practices for diverse learners in regular classrooms. It is, therefore, important to examine their beliefs and preparation to teach in inclusive classrooms. The main purpose of this study was to analyze the attitude of active Chilean teachers (n = 569) towards inclusion, their self-efficacy regarding inclusive practices, and their intention to teach in inclusive classrooms. Our secondary objectives were to explore the relationship between their attitudes and self-efficacy and to determine the influence of demographic and professional variables on these two constructs. A positive and significant relationship between teachers’ attitude and self-efficacy was found. Teacher qualification was not significantly related to attitudes towards inclusion but was negatively associated with their self-efficacy beliefs concerning inclusive practices. Secondary education teachers reported lower teaching efficacy beliefs for inclusion than pre-school, primary, and special education teachers. The type of school emerged as a significant predictor of teachers’ attitude and self-efficacy beliefs. The implications of this research and need for additional teacher and in-service training to improve educators’ attitudes and self-efficacy are discussed.

The Relationship

This study aims to investigate the relationship between Turkish teachers’ attitudes and their self-efficacy for inclusive practices using a relational survey design. Study participants included a total of 1163 preschool, classroom, subject-matter, and special-education teachers from four different geographical regions in Turkey. The data was collected using the Sentiments, Attitudes, and Concerns about Inclusive Education Scale (SACIE-R) and the Teacher Efficacy for Inclusive Practice (TEIP) Scale. The data were analyzed using the Pearson Product-Moment Correlation and Multiple Linear Regression tests with the help of SPSS. The results reported a positive significant relationship between teachers’ attitudes and self-efficacy for inclusive practices. Results also revealed teacher self-efficacy to be a significant predictor of their attitudes towards inclusive education.

Polish researchers of teachers' attitudes towards inclusive education have not yet had a validity and reliable tool that could be successfully used in scientific research. The aim of the article is to present the adaptation and validation of the Multidimensional Attitude towards Inclusive Education Scale. A total of 556 teachers of all levels of education participated in the study, who completed the Polish version of the Multidimensional Attitudes towards Inclusive Education Scale, the Scale of Attitudes towards School Integration of Children with Disabilities, the Norwegian Scale of Teachers' Self-Efficacy and the Survey of Perceived Organizational Support. The factor analysis and the relationships between the variables were performed to confirm the theoretical validity and the scale reliability analysis. The study confirmed the three-factor structure of the Multidimensional Attitudes toward Inclusive Education Scale. The theoretical validity was also confirmed on the basis of positive relationships between the cognitive, affective and behavioral components of the attitude and the sense of self-efficacy, including motivating students and adjusting the program to students' needs, maintaining discipline and cooperation with parents, teaching students and cooperation with colleagues, perceived organizational support. Additionally, there was a positive relationship between the attitude components and a positive attitude to school integration and a negative relationship with a negative attitude to this integration. The reliability of the scale was confirmed in four trials. The article presents a validity and reliable tool for researching teachers' attitudes towards inclusive education, which may be a starting point for research on predictors and the consequences of these attitudes.

The Relationship

Abstract Five hundred fifty mainland Chinese university students were given a questionnaire that contained a Teacher Efficacy for Inclusive Practices (TEIP) scale. The purpose of the study was a) to test the factor structure of teacher self-efficacy for inclusive practices, b) to investigate the relationship between teacher self-efficacy for inclusive practices and attitude toward inclusive education, and c) to study the relationship between participants' attitudes and other variables related to inclusive education. Confirmatory factor analysis gave support the hyphothesis of three correlated but separate factors of self-efficacy: Efficacy to use inclusive instructions, Efficacy in collaboration, and Efficacy in managing behaviour. As the initial factors were correlated, another model with second-order factor to which the three factors loaded, was tested. This model fit the data equally well. The second-order factor, which was named as General teacher self-efficacy for inclusive practices, explained significantly participants' attitudes to inclusive education.

Teachers Attitudes

In inclusive education, children with special needs (ABK) should get educational services together with normal children. However, inclusive education services that occur in Indonesia are still experiencing obstacles. Previous research has found that the problems are the lack of knowledge of teachers about children with special needs, the lack of teacher skills in dealing with children with special needs, and teachers' attitudes towards children with special needs. Current research intended to analyse the attitude of inclusive education teachers. The measurement of knowledge is developed by researchers using prior knowledge theory. In measuring teacher efficacy, we use the Teacher Efficacy for Inclusive Practices (TEIP) measurement. Teacher attitudes towards inclusive education was measured by the Multidimensional Attitudes Toward Inclusive Education Scale (MATIES). The participants were 60 teachers from state primary school, and incusive private primary school in Bogor Regency. Participants were recruited by convenience sampling technique. The research method uses correlational quantitative methods. The results showed that the knowledge and efficacy of teachers together did not provide a significant contribution to the attitude of teachers in inclusive education. Partially, knowledge about children with special needs has no effect on teachers' attitudes on inclusive education. However, independently, only teacher efficacy contributed significantly to teachers' attitudes regarding inclusive education. bersama dengan anak yang normal. Namun, pelayanan pendidikan inklusif yang terjadi di Indonesia masih mengalami hambatan. Penelitian terdahulu menemukan bahwa hambatan yang terjadi selama ini adalah kurangnya pengetahuan guru tentang anak berkebutuhan khusus, minimnya keterampilan guru dalam menangani ABK, dan sikap guru terhadap ABK yang dilihat masih memandang sebelah mata. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui peran pengetahuan awal tentang ABK dan efikasi guru terhadap sikap guru pendidikan inklusif. Pengukuran pengetahuan dikembangkan oleh peneliti dengan menggunakan teori prior knowledge. Untuk pengukuran efikasi guru, digunakan alat ukur The Teacher Efficacy for Inclusive Practices (TEIP). Pengukuran sikap guru terhadap pendidikan inklusif menggunakan alat ukur The Multidimensional attitudes toward inclusive education scale (MATIES). Partisipan berjumlah 60 guru dari SDN dan SD Swasta Inklusi di Kabupaten Bogor, yang terpilih dengan teknik sampling convenience. Metode penelitian menggunakan metode kuantitatif korelasional. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengetahuan dan efikasi guru secara bersama-sama tidak memberikan sumbangan yang signifikan terhadap sikap guru pendidikan inklusif. Secara parsial, pengetahuan mengenai anak berkebutuhan khusus tidak memberikan pengaruh terhadap sikap guru pada pendidikan inklusi. Namun secara independen hanya efikasi guru yang memberikan sumbangan yang signifikan terhadap sikap guru mengenai pendidikan inklusif.
