ABSTRACT

The aim of this study is to examine teacher’s self-efficacy and exhaustion as a result of recognizing the relation between the teacher and children with disabilities in inclusive classes. To achieve such goal, a questionnaire survey was conducted to 198 elementary school teachers of the inclusive education. The scales used in this study were Teacher-Student Relation Recognition Scale by Ang(2005), Teacher Self-Efficacy Scale by Cheung (2006), and Burnout Scale by Kristensen et al(2005). The results of this study are as follows. First, a relation recognition of the teachers in inclusive classes with children with disabilities was mostly positive. Teachers who had long-term experiences in inclusive education or completed longer hours for special education training courses had positive recognition in particular. Second, a self-efficacy of the teachers in inclusive classes was mostly positive. The longer general teaching experience and teaching experience in inclusive education, more positive the self-efficacy became. The hours of the special education training courses completed by teachers also had a positive influence on the self-efficacy. Third, regarding burnout of the inclusive class teachers, student-related burnout was higher than that of the personal and occupational burnout. Moreover the shorter the teaching experience in inclusive education, the higher the student-related burnout became. Fourth, a recognition of the relation of the inclusive class teachers with children with disabilities can be explained by the self-efficacy and student-related burnout. The relation recognition was positive as the self-efficacy became higher and the student-related burnout became lower.
