text: "Inclusive education is a key goal of modern educational reforms, yet its\r\nimplementation
is complex. This study examines the roles of teacher\r\nattitudes and self-efficacy
in predicting their intentions to use inclusive\r\npractices across five western
countries: Canada, Germany, Greece, Italy,\r\nand Switzerland. The study identified
both significant differences and\r\ncommonalities in prediction patterns across
these countries. For instance,\r\nbeliefs about inclusion varied in their significance,
being the most\r\ninfluential predictor among Italian teachers, while managing
challenging behaviour was a key predictor for Swiss teachers only. For the other\r\npredictors,
no significant differences were found, and self-efficacy in\r\ncollaboration was
the strongest predictor nominally. The study suggests\r\nthat, while aspects such
as collaboration seem generally important across\r\ncountries, effective strategies
for promoting inclusive education may also\r\nneed to be tailored to each country’s
unique context, considering aspects of\r\nhistorical background of inclusive education,
teacher training, and support.\r\nIt also emphasizes the need to consider domain-specific
aspects of teacher\r\nself-efficacy, as different facets differently affect teachers’
intentions."
