This study investigated the effect of combining adapted physical education courses with individualized education program training on pre-service teachers’ self-efficacy towards inclusive physical education. Multilevel modeling of a survey completed by two hundred and twenty-seven students enrolled in physical education teacher education programs in Korea was analyzed using a quadratic growth curve model. The results revealed that a combined course did indeed have a significant effect on the pre-service teachers’ self-efficacy towards inclusive physical education compared with groups provided with either just an adapted physical education course or no course. The students receiving the combined course also exhibited a sustainable positive growth rate and an accelerated rate of improvement in their level of self-efficacy towards inclusive physical education. These findings clearly demonstrate that combining adapted physical education courses with individualized education program training can deliver a sustainable educational impact on Korean pre-service physical education teachers’ self-efficacy towards inclusive physical education.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of completion of an adapted physical education (APE) course with an associated on-campus practicum on preservice physical educators’ self-efficacy beliefs toward the inclusion of individuals with specific disabilities (autism, intellectual disabilities, physical disabilities, and visual impairments). Preservice students in physical education teacher education (N = 98) at a large U.S. Midwestern university enrolled in 1 of 2 separate 15-wk APE courses with an associated 9-wk practicum experience were surveyed at the beginning, middle, and conclusion of each course. Results of 4 separate 2-factor fixed-effect split-plot ANOVAs revealed significant improvements in self-efficacy beliefs from Wk 1 to Wk 8 and from Wk 1 to Wk 15 across all disability categories. Significant differences between courses were found only for autism in Time 1.

The individualized education program (IEP) is both an important process and a document in decision-making concerning students' participation and accommodation in assessment. In this intervention study, training was found to increase the quality and extent of participation and accommodation documentation on the IEP. Correlations between what was documented on the IEP and what happened on the day of testing were highly variable. Although students' IEPs appeared to reflect individualized decisions, political and logistical factors limited the utility of the IEP and interfered with its actual implementation.

Developing appropriate programs for students with autism has been an increasingly complex task for parents, schools, and other stakeholders. Parents of students with autism have challenged the appropriateness of proposed school district programs, and these disputes represent the fastest growing and most expensive area of litigation in special education. In this article, 68 hearings and cases were reviewed. The article discusses the outcomes of administrative and judicial decisions related to appropriate programs for children with autism. Three primary factors were identified: Individualized education program (IEP) goals must be matched to evaluation data, IEP team members must be qualified to develop programs, and the methodology selected must be able to assist the students in achieving identified IEP goals. Implications for school teams are discussed.

The ability to create an Individualized Education Program (IEP) for inclusive Early Childhood Education (ECE) teachers is a matter that needs to be further studied. At present, there are still many teachers who still need to be prepared with sufficient knowledge to create a proper IEP. The ability to create an ideal IEP can be useful for teachers in the implementation of an ideal inclusive ECE. An ideal inclusive ECE can serve as an indicator of the quality of education of a nation. The objective of this research is to analyze the effect of teacher's self-efficacy and teacher's literacy on Education for Children with Special Needs on the ability to design an IEP. The study uses a path analysis involving 50 ECE teachers from 50 different schools in East Jakarta. This study applied a simple random sampling technique to involve teachers. The results of this study revealed: 1) There was no direct effect on teacher self-efficacy towards the ability to design an IEP; 2) There was a direct effect on teacher literacy towards the ability to make an IEP; 3) There was no direct effect on teacher's self-efficacy towards the teacher's literacy on Education for Children with Special Needs.

The purpose of this work is the presentation of the questionnaire of the Self-Efficacy Scale for Physical Education Teacher Education Majors towards the Children with Disabilities (SE-PETE-D), which should be used in the future to identify self-efficacy of the students of the teacher training in physical education. At the same time will be also presented the results of a pilot study of standardization of this questionnaire in the conditions of the Czech environment. A key concept of questionnaire is self-efficacy. and introduced its the Canadian-American psychologist Albert Bandura (1997). Apilot study and comparison encompass bachelor students took part in the teaching of physical education, students of bachelor studies in adapted physical education and students of the follow-up master degree in adapted physical education. The results show that students of bachelor studies in adapted physical education have higher self-efficacy than students of bachelor studies in physical education.
