Abstract

The purpose of this correlational study is to investigate the relationships between the perceptions of self-efficacy of primary school teachers in general and special schools and their perceptions regarding the inclusion of students with disabilities and/or special educational needs (SEN). Specifically, the concept of self-efficacy and inclusion is analyzed. The potential mediating role of teachers' self-efficacy in the integration of students with SEN and its differentiation based on demographic variables is explored. Research demonstrates the importance of teacher self-efficacy, as high rates of teacher self-efficacy are usually associated with their students' learning achievements and better classroom adjustment. The sample of the study consisted of 100 primary school teachers from all over the country. Participants completed an electronic self-report questionnaire that included the ATTAS-mm (Attitudes Towards Teaching All Students) Scale (Gregory & Noto 2012), the Teachers' Sense of Efficacy Scale-TSES (Tschannen-Moran & Hoy, 2001), and questions related to demographic information. The results of the study indicated the nonexistence of a relationship between the effectiveness of primary school teachers and their attitudes towards the inclusion of students with SEN and/or disabilities. Although, statistically significant differences were found between teachers' self-efficacy with their age, the hours they work monthly with people with disabilities, their teaching experience and the grade level in which they teach.
