The Effects of Inclusive Education Environment on Preschool Inclusive Education Teachers'Occupational Identity:The Mediating Role of Self-Efficacy
In order to explore the impact of inclusive education environment on preschool inclusive education teachers'occupational identity and the mechanism of self-efficacy in it,317 preschool inclusive education teachers were investigated by using the Kindergarten Inclusive Education Environment Scale,Preschool Inclusive Education Teachers'Occupational Identity Scale and the Teachers'Inclusive Education Self-Efficacy Assessment Scale.The results showed that(1)the inclusive education environment positively predicted the occupational identity of preschool inclusive education teachers;(2)the self-efficacy of preschool inclusive education teachers played a partial mediating role between the inclusive education environment and occupational identity.Therefore,the occupational identity of preschool inclusive education teachers could be enhanced by actively creating a supportive inclusive education environment and cultivating their self-efficacy.
