This descriptive quantitative online survey research explored the relationships among Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy, Collective Inclusion Efficacy, Technologyand other predictor variables to determine their saliency in relationship to the criterion variable Teachers’ Sense of Inclusion Efficacy. Data were collected from a random sample of general and special educators in all teaching positions, across all grade levels, in urban, rural and suburban Ohio school districts. Descriptive quantitative statistics, frequencies, means, standard deviations, percentages, reliability coefficients, correlation coefficients, principal component analyses, multiple regression analyses, and a one-sample t test, were used to analyze the relationships and interrelationships among the predictor variables and the criterion variable. The results provided rich contextual and situational data. The predictor variables, Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy, Collective Inclusion Efficacy, and Attitudes Toward Inclusion, had strong or moderate relationships with the criterion variable Teachers’ Sense of Inclusion Efficacy. Analyses of the data support the new scales developed and used in this study to assess teachers’ personal and collective efficacy for the inclusion of students with disabilities in the general education classroom. The Teachers’ Sense of Inclusion Efficacy Scale (I-TSES)was adapted from the 12-item Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy Scale (TSES) (Tschannen-Moran & Woolfolk Hoy, 2001), and the Collective Inclusion Efficacy scalewas adapted from the 12-item Collective Efficacy scale (Goddard, 2002). Further research and application of these new scales should help inform schools, colleges, and departments of education (SCDEs) of the need to ensure that teachers are prepared to integrate technology to teach every student in the 21st century.
