Abstract

In the last two decades, interest in inclusive education has grown, and researchers have begun to study teachers’ attitudes toward it. However, few studies have examined both pre-service and in-service teachers’ perspectives, particularly in Japan. Therefore, the current study contributed to investigating the attitudes and self-efficacy of pre-service and in-service teachers toward inclusive education in Japan. A descriptive survey was used to collect data for quantitative analysis. Firstly, no significant main effects and interactions of attitudes were found for all independent variables. Next, it was found that there were two main effects on the self-efficacy scale: training and prior contact with disabilities. Finally, two predictors for the attitude scale were found: self-efficacy and training in inclusive education and special needs education. These results implied a better understanding of the attitudes and self-efficacy of pre-service and in-service teachers. They provided insight into how to improve teacher training for inclusive quality education for all, as envisioned by SDG 4.

Abstract

Writing is a facet of learning and daily communication. However, many deaf and hard-of-hearing learners (DHHLs) struggle with writing despite teachers’ efforts to teach writing effectively. For decades, researchers have developed interventions and theories for improving writing instruction with limited implementation research to assess what works and what does not, for whom, where, and how. The international goal to achieve quality education through Sustainable Development Goal 4, with target 4.6 for improving literacy skills by 2030, has increased awareness of improving learners’ literacy skills in developing countries, including those with disabilities. However, there is limited research on evidence-based interventions in improving DHHLs’ literacy skills, particularly in writing. One of these interventions is the self-regulated strategy development model (SRSD). This study describes the implementation of SRSD in Lesotho with two Grade 6 DHHLs, specifically focusing on identifying the teacher’s instructional adaptations and learners’ development as writers during SRSD instruction. This study also considers the pedagogical implications of SRSD instruction when used with DHHLs with limited English backgrounds.
