Teaching in Linguistically and Culturally Diverse Classrooms in Canada: Self-Efficacy Perceptions of Internationally Educated Teachers
Vidwans, Mithila; Faez, Farahnaz
TESL Canada Journal, v36 n2 p48-67 2019
Set in Ontario, which is the most diverse province in Canada, this study (N = 76) examined Internationally Educated Teachers' (IETs) and non-Internationally Educated Teachers' (non-IETs) sense of self-efficacy for providing linguistically and culturally inclusive pedagogy in K-12 classrooms. Theories of self-efficacy and culturally responsive pedagogy frame this research. This study employed a quantitative 40-item survey to compare teachers' self-efficacy perceptions of general pedagogy and culturally responsive pedagogy. Results show that while both groups were equally consistent in their self-efficacy perceptions for providing general pedagogy, IETs reported significantly higher self-efficacy for providing culturally responsive pedagogy.
