Abstract

ABSTRACT Despite the increasing number of students with special educational and developmental needs in Singapore, in-service teachers’ efficacy in inclusive practices remained underexplored within this teacher population. This study examined the efficacy of 584 in-service preschools and primary school teachers in inclusive practices. Results showed that while teachers demonstrated moderately high efficacy, preschool teachers’ overall efficacy was significantly higher than that of primary school teachers. Conversely, no significant difference found in efficacy in managing behaviour, indicating that both groups find it equally challenging. The study explored possible reasons for these differences in teacher efficacy across educational levels in Singapore.
