Predictors of Improved Teaching Efficacy Following Basic Training for Inclusion in Hong Kong
Forlin, Chris; Sharma, Umesh; Loreman, Tim
International Journal of Inclusive Education, v18 n7 p718-730 2014
This study examined teaching efficacy for inclusive practice in a pre-post matched-sample of 737 teachers in Hong Kong taking a basic university-level course in inclusive education. The results demonstrate that regardless of demographic variables such a course is effective in improving teacher efficacy for inclusive practice, with female teachers making larger gains in the area of managing behaviour when compared to their male counterparts. Further, increased knowledge of legislation and policy, and a reduction in concerns about inclusive teaching were found to be the major predictors of improved teaching efficacy for inclusive practice.
