Özet:

The aim of this research is to determine the self-efficacy beliefs of primary teachers and pre-service primary teachers towards Integrated Education and IEP preparation. The research was carried out on 238 people, 107 of whom were pre-service primary teachers studying at the Faculty of Education in Rize University and 131 of whom were primary teachers working in the Çayeli district of Rize. Integrated Education Questionnaire developed by Aksüt, M, Battal, I, and Yaldız F. (2005) and The Scale of Determining Potential Difficulties in IEP Preparation Process by Tike Bafra, L. and Kargın, T. (2009) were used as data gathering instrument. In the study, self-efficacy beliefs of pre-service primary teachers towards Integrated Education and IEP preparation were found to be more than that of primary teachers. A meaningful positive correlation between the self-efficiency beliefs of primary teachers and pre-service primary teachers towards Integrated Education and IEP preparation was observed. While the scores of male pre-service teachers in terms of perceiving their competence for Integrated Education were found to be significantly higher than females; no significant difference according to gender, in terms of self-efficacy towards IEP preparation was found. Moreover, it was found that the primary teachers attending in-service training perceive themselves more competent for IEP preparation than the primary teachers not attending in-service training. Keywords: Integrated Education, Individualized Education Program (IEP)
