Participants were 78 university students who self-identified as possessing an LD and/or ADHD. Variables were measured using an online questionnaire.

This gap is unfortunate, as teaching reading is a common responsibility among general and special education teachers. In the current push for RTI—one in which more general education teachers are increasingly called upon to provide reading support to students with learning disabilities, in addition to the support received from special educators—it is important to determine preservice teachers’ self-efficacy for teaching reading. Self-efficacy is an important construct to consider as it is related to eventual teacher attrition. The purpose of the current study was to develop a scale to measure elementary and special education majors’ self-efficacy for teaching reading. With a sample of 110 education majors, a three-factor scale was developed and demonstrated strong psychometric properties.

In this article, after reviewing single-case research, we provide an overview of common types of effect sizes used in single-case research, including overlap metrics and within- and between-participant effect sizes, and conclude with examples of these effect sizes in the single-case literature.
