ABSTRACT

The purpose of current study is to examine early childhood special education teachers’ perceptions of importance, implementation and competence of DEC’s child-focused recommended practices(DECRP). Importance-Performance Analysis, Competence-Performance Analysis were conducted to identify poorly implemented individual practices among all 27 practices under three sub categories of ‘environmental design’, ‘individualized practice’, and ‘systematic procedures’. Overall, there were very strong and significant correlations among the three categories. Most respondents felt the DECRP was important and they were competent implementing them. Respondents also believed that they frequently implemented the DECRP in their classrooms. However, there were statistically significant difference between importance and implementation and between competence and implementation as well. Although various practices were identified as ‘need to be improved’ practices, most weak practices were from environmental design category. A discussion of the limitations of the current study are suggested. Implications for future research and teacher preparation also are discussed.
