Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book the editors have been able to provide a snapshot of current research being undertaken in the Asia-Pacific region in regards to teacher self-efficacy beliefs. This includes specific focuses on inclusive teaching, professionalism, subject domains, collective efficacy as well as specific contexts of early childhood education and care, primary schools education, special needs schools and teacher education. This allows the reader to begin to develop an understanding about the complexity of teacher self-efficacy as well as the development and relationship between self-efficacy and other theoretical constructs and concepts. The book begins with an overall summary of research in the Asia-Pacific region before moving to a specific focus on research in different countries. All of the chapters also provide hope to the reader about the possibilities of understanding and supporting teachers and schools beliefs to enhance teacher behaviour. Through the implementation of teacher self-efficacy beliefs into educational contexts, teacher education programmes and professional development programmes, there is strong hope that the outcomes of education systems in supporting all students in their learning can be achieved. By allowing teachers to develop their own sources of efficacy and supporting these through all stages of career development, all children can be supported in their own learning.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate if collective sense of teaching efficacy, general sense of teaching efficacy, or personal sense of teacher efficacy influenced teacher attitude toward inclusive classroom settings. Additionally, the study sought to determine if teacher attitude toward inclusive classroom settings differed when taking into account primary student disability type. Prior research indicates that there is a direct link between teacher sense of efficacy and student disability type when determining teacher attitude toward inclusive classroom settings. The sample population for the survey consisted of a convenience sample that represented only a select number of teachers, thus limiting the generalizability of the findings. Multiple regression and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were utilized to test the hypotheses that teacher sense of efficacy and student disability type had no impact on teacher attitude toward inclusive classroom settings. Consistent with predictions based on Social Cognitive Theory, this study indicated that teacher sense of efficacy and primary student disability type had a direct impact on teacher attitude toward inclusive classroom settings.

Download or read book Attitudes Towards Inclusive Schooling written by Susanne Schwab and published by Waxmann Verlag. This book was released on 2018 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last two decades, the implementation of inclusive schooling has increased significantly in European countries and worldwide. According to empirical evidence, one of the most important success factors in implementing inclusive schooling are the attitudes of the actors involved. Previous studies have shown that positive attitudes towards inclusive schooling are not only a condition for success regarding the implementation, but also an important outcome variable of inclusive education. The present study provides empirical insights into the attitudes towards students with learning disabilities and behavioral disorders. A study called ATIS-STEP (Attitudes Towards Inclusive Schooling - Students', TEachers' and Parents' Attitudes) was conducted in the school year 2016/17 in 48 inclusive classrooms in Austria. It is the first study to provide longitudinal data that examines the attitudes of the three different stakeholder groups: students, teachers and parents. Furthermore, the interdependency of the attitudes of the three groups, as well as the influence of previous contact experience on the attitudes are analyzed and discussed.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation is an examination of general education teacher's attitudes toward the inclusion of students with special needs in their classroom and the variables that influence these attitudes. A theoretical framework for the examination of teacher attitudes includes the impact of efficacy, experience, training, grade level and subject area taught, and school variables. The relationship among these factors, teacher's instructional practices and student achievement are examined. For this study, participants were recruited from three public school districts in a midwestern state. An electronic survey developed by the researcher, along with a demographic questionnaire and study preamble were sent to middle and high school general education teachers in three participating districts. A total of 233 teachers responded. Descriptive statistics were calculated. A correlational analysis between teacher attitudes and teacher and school variables along with an analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted. The mean score for teacher attitudes toward inclusion was 3.79 with scores ranging from a low score of 2.96 and a high of 4.94 out of a possible score of 6.00. An analysis of the data revealed a negative correlation between teacher attitude and grade level taught meaning that the higher the grade level, the more negative the teacher attitude toward inclusion. A significant difference in teacher attitude toward inclusion by subject area taught was found. Participants who teach mathematics reported significantly lower attitudes toward inclusion than those who taught language arts and social studies. A further analysis revealed that almost 25% of the participants had no training what-so-ever in special education strategies, 48.5% of the teachers surveyed strongly agreed or moderately agreed that inclusion is a desirable practice and 44.7% of the teachers strongly or moderately agreed that everyone benefits from inclusive practices. When examining the findings of this study in light of the literature, teacher training has been identified as a primary contributor to teacher attitudes. Suggestions for providing general education teachers with the needed training are made as well as directions for future research.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deaf and hard-of-hearing students are steadily being fully included into general education classrooms based on the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. As a result, this mixed methods study examined the relationship between teacher efficacy and attitudes towards inclusion of DHH students, effects of inclusion on DHH students, and how teacher beliefs about DHH students affect their expectations in comparison to general education students. A purposeful sample of 120 (7-12th grade) general education teachers within the same school district in Southeast Texas were administered the Teachers' Sense of Efficacy Scale (TSES) and the Attitudes Toward Teaching All Students (ATTAS-dhh). In addition, classroom observations and semi-structured follow-up interviews of a purposeful sample of general education teachers working and DHH students were conducted. Findings indicated a negative correlation between efficacy and attitudes toward the inclusion of DHH students; teachers' reported their expectations were the same for all students: DHH students reported a preference to being included into general education classrooms; and there was a need for general education teachers to receive training concerning instructional strategies and use of technology in the classroom.

Download or read book Leadership for Inclusive Education written by G. Mac Ruairc and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-02-11 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inclusion is increasingly becoming one of the policy drivers shaping educational discourse and practice. What constitutes the term “inclusion” itself and how ideas derived from the different perspectives on inclusion impact school leadership practice point to a highly contested field of enquiry. Originally embedded in discourse relating to special education, ideas relating to inclusion are attracting much broader appeal within system reforms in many jurisdictions. This book seeks to keep the consideration of inclusion firmly in its broader context and to decouple it from the discourse relating to students with special educational/additional needs. This allows the authors to position their contributions more explicitly within discourses that draw on difference and diversity as unavoidable features of schools. Within this collection we address the current political dogmas in many countries that take a purely rational, managerial approach to leadership, arguing that this is not contributing to inclusion in schools. In doing this, the book seeks to shape current discourses on leadership by exploring perspectives which are likely to enhance our understanding of inclusion. Tolerance, respect, listening, clarifying language, being comfortable with differences and ambiguity and articulating and challenging the rationale behind “the way we do things around here” are key aspects of inclusive leadership, and also fundamental imperatives for writing this book. It will be useful to those in education who are engaged in further academic study in education or in reflective practice and to anyone taking advanced programmes in educational leadership and management. The international perspectives on the issue of inclusion informing this book ensure that this book will be essential for those engaged in a comparative analysis of leadership practice in different contexts or those concerned with the complexity of ensuring inclusive models of education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of Advances in Teacher Education is about beliefs held by teachers and addresses the important topic of teacher beliefs from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. Most of the authors who have contributed to this collection of essays assume that beliefs are propositions that are felt to be true by the person embracing them, but that do not necessarily rest on the kind of evidence that justifies the use of the term “knowledge.” Teacher beliefs are an important topic because it is hypothesized that teachers and teacher candidates use them to shape the information they receive from formal teacher preparation and to direct subsequent decision-making in the classroom.

Download or read book Attitudes of General Education Teachers Toward Inclusion Programs written by Lisa Guy-Britt and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of this study was to examine the attitudes held by general education teachers toward inclusion programs. Teachers’ attitudes can impact students’ achievement and the efficacy of programs if teachers’ attitudes result in programs that are not implemented with fidelity. The attitudes held by teachers toward students can impact all levels of learning and even student socialization. The peer-to-peer interactions can be impacted by teachers’ attitudes because teachers control the culture and climate of the class, which impacts the achievement of students. If the general education teacher holds negative attitudes towards inclusion, these negative perceptions can present as inclusion programs being implemented without fidelity. There needs to be teacher “buy in” to implement programs. This would then imply that general education teachers who hold positive attitudes toward inclusion programs have the potential to provide a benefit toward the programs and student achievement. Just as negative attitudes held by teachers can negatively impact student achievement, positive teacher attitudes have the potential to positively benefit student achievement and learning experiences. Since 1975, educational institutions have had to address how best to meet the needs of students with disabilities. These efforts have taken individuals from educating students in a specialized setting solely for students with disabilities. Today, there is a spectrum of settings for students with disabilities that range from self-contained classes comprised solely of students with disabilities to the general education classroom setting. These changes to the educational system were not born from the belief that vulnerable communities should have the same access and rights as all others. Rather, these educational gains were made through legal battles, civil rights actions, and legislation. So, it is under this landscape that a community of people who were once excluded from school and community were able to participate in the public education system. The researcher conducted this quantitative research by the survey method. Analysis of the data determined what prevalent themes emerged from the data and a comparison of the data.

Wood and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this quantitative correlation study is to determine if there is a relationship between in-service secondary teachers’ self-efficacy regarding student engagement, instructional practices, and classroom management and their attitudes toward the inclusive setting. Secondary teachers’ self-efficacy is imperative to student engagement, instructional practices, and classroom management in an inclusive setting. The study surveys 67 in-service middle and high school level general education teachers from a single, rural school district in eastern Pennsylvania. Data were collected using two surveys which are the long form of Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy Scale and The Scale of Teacher’s Attitudes towards Inclusive Classroom. Data were collected anonymously through Survey Monkey. A Pearson product-moment correlation was used to analyze the data. The results revealed a statistically significant positive correlation at a very large effect size between student engagement and attitudes toward inclusion, instructional practices and attitude toward inclusion, and classroom management and attitudes toward inclusion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World-renowned economist Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, explains that we have an opportunity to shape the fourth industrial revolution, which will fundamentally alter how we live and work. Schwab argues that this revolution is different in scale, scope and complexity from any that have come before. Characterized by a range of new technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, the developments are affecting all disciplines, economies, industries and governments, and even challenging ideas about what it means to be human. Artificial intelligence is already all around us, from supercomputers, drones and virtual assistants to 3D printing, DNA sequencing, smart thermostats, wearable sensors and microchips smaller than a grain of sand. But this is just the beginning: nanomaterials 200 times stronger than steel and a million times thinner than a strand of hair and the first transplant of a 3D printed liver are already in development. Imagine “smart factories” in which global systems of manufacturing are coordinated virtually, or implantable mobile phones made of biosynthetic materials. The fourth industrial revolution, says Schwab, is more significant, and its ramifications more profound, than in any prior period of human history. He outlines the key technologies driving this revolution and discusses the major impacts expected on government, business, civil society and individuals. Schwab also offers bold ideas on how to harness these changes and shape a better future—one in which technology empowers people rather than replaces them; progress serves society rather than disrupts it; and in which innovators respect moral and ethical boundaries rather than cross them. We all have the opportunity to contribute to developing new frameworks that advance progress.
