The Impact of Co-Teaching on Teacher Efficacy
Katz, Lori A.
ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, Indiana State University
Current educational policies that have articulated from IDEA are driving the adoption of inclusionary practices in schools. These policies present challenges to general education, secondary education, and dual-licensed teachers at the secondary level. Secondary general education teachers may lack the pedagogical knowledge necessary to accommodate for students with special needs; special education teachers may lack the competence in content to ensure students with special needs are mastering the required standards. Co-teaching partnerships allow students to be educated in an environment that includes teacher expertise in both areas--a general educator for content-specific instruction and a special educator for data collection and accommodation expertise. This quantitative survey research explored the impact that co-teaching has on teacher efficacy within the co-taught classroom and the stand-alone classroom for general education teachers, special education teachers, and dual-licensed teachers at the secondary level. Quantitative statistics were used to determine if co-teaching impacted teacher efficacy in the constructs of student engagement, instructional strategies, and classroom management. When a repeated-measures t-test for non-independent samples was conducted, the study found that there was a significant difference in teacher efficacy between the stand-alone classroom and the co-taught classroom in the constructs of student engagement, instructional strategies, and classroom management for general education teachers and teachers who are dual-licensed. While efficacy is higher in the co-taught classroom than in the stand-alone classroom for teachers with a special education license, a significant difference did not exist.
