Teachers' Sense of Efficacy in Their Work with Pupils with Learning, Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties
Kuronja, Maja; Cagran, Branka; Krajnc, Majda Schmidt
Emotional & Behavioural Difficulties, v24 n1 p36-49 2019
This study investigates primary school teachers' sense of efficacy in their work with pupils with learning, emotional, and behavioural difficulties (LEBD), both in mainstream inclusive classrooms and in special classrooms for pupils in residential treatment institutions. Using an online questionnaire survey, data were collected on teachers' self-efficacy, efficacy beliefs on their ability to teach LEBD pupils, and perceived ability to apply knowledge from different socio-pedagogical areas. Mainstream classroom teachers perceived higher efficacy in collaborating with parents of LEBD pupils, in most aspects of their ability to handle pupils' learning and behavioural problems, and in most aspects of their ability to use knowledge from different socio-pedagogical areas. Conversely, special classroom teachers perceived higher efficacy in aspects related to their pupils' engagement and comprehension of learning material, and in their classroom management ability, particularly in managing pupils' disruptive behaviour.
