Abstract

Purpose

The present study was intended to investigate the relationship between teachers’ self-efficacy, sentiments and concerns toward disability and burnout in pre-service special education teachers.

Design/methodology/approach

Three hundred seventy-two special education teachers participated in the study. Participants were administered the following self-reports: Teacher Efficacy for Inclusive Practices, Sentiments and Concerns Scale and Maslach Burnout Inventory-Educators Survey. Structural equation modelling (SEM) is used to examine the study’s hypotheses.

Findings

SEM analysis showed the role of teachers’ concerns as a mediator for teacher efficacy in inclusive practices for emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. Furthermore, the findings showed a significant association between teacher efficacy in inclusive practices, sentiments and concerns and each dimension of burnout. In addition, significant relations between teachers’ concerns, emotional exhaustion and depersonalization were clear.

Research limitations/implications

The results of this study suggest the importance of promoting special education teachers’ self-efficacy to change negative attitudes and prevent burnout.

Originality/value

This study extends the current literature on special education teachers and provides new information on the relationship between self-efficacy, attitudes and burnout.

了解特殊教育教师的职业倦怠:高风险职业倦怠的探索性结构方程模型
本研究旨在调查职前特殊教育教师的自我效能感、对残疾的情感和担忧与职业倦怠之间的关系。参与者进行了以下自我报告:教师对全纳实践的效能感、情感和关注量表以及马斯拉赫职业倦怠调查表--教育工作者调查。结构方程模型(SEM)被用来检验研究的假设。研究结果SEM分析表明,教师的担忧对全纳实践中教师效能感的情绪衰竭和人格解体起着中介作用。此外,研究结果表明,教师在全纳实践中的效能感、情感和担忧与职业倦怠的各个维度之间存在显著关联。本研究的结果表明,提高特殊教育教师的自我效能感对于改变消极态度和预防职业倦怠非常重要。
