Literature Review: The Impact of Teacher Attitudes and Beliefs on Inclusive
Education (from Assignment 02)
The impact of teacher attitudes and beliefs on inclusive education has been a
topic of growing interest in recent years. As the push for inclusive education
becomes more prevalent, it is essential to examine the attitudes and beliefs of
teachers and how these impact the success of inclusive practices in the classroom.
In this literature review, I will identify and critically analyze 12-15 scholarly
sources published between 2015 and 2022 that are relevant to this research
problem.
One of the key issues related to teacher attitudes and beliefs in inclusive
education is the concept of teacher efficacy. Hinz, et al. (2019) conducted a study
that found a significant correlation between teacher efficacy and inclusive
practices, highlighting the importance of addressing teacher attitudes and beliefs
in improving inclusive education. According to Hinz et al. (2019), teacher efficacy
plays a crucial role in inclusive education. Teacher efficacy refers to the belief in
one's ability to effectively teach and support students with diverse needs.
Teachers with high efficacy are more likely to implement inclusive practices,
adapt instruction, and collaborate with support staff. Conversely, low efficacy can
lead to exclusionary practices and a lack of willingness to adapt instruction. The
authors emphasize that teacher efficacy is malleable and can be developed
