The purpose of this study was to understand New Taipei City’s preschool teachers’ perspectives on collective teacher efficacy(CTE) and teacher self-efficacy (TSE) for the inclusion education as well as the influence of contextual variables (personal and professional backgrounds) on participating teachers’ efficacy beliefs. A researcher-made measurement was used. The Cronbach's α of the measurement was above 0.9. In-service preschool teachers working in inclusive settings from New Taipei City were recruited for this study. The survey was sent to teachers of 355 potential participants; 281 complete responses were received, yielding a 79.15% response rate. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, analysis of variance, t-tests, and Pearson correlation. The results were found: (1) Participants held high CTE and TSE perceptions for inclusion education; (2) different teachers’ backgrounds might have significant effects on their CTE, such as school districts, collaboration experiences, and quality of professional trainings; and (3) there has a positive significant association between participating teachers’ CTE and TSE. |
