摘要
VALIDATION OF THE TEACHERS’ SENSE OF EFFICACY SCALE (TSES) FOR USE WITH TEACHERS IN MACAO (SAR) WAS UNDERTAKEN TO DETERMINE ITS USEFULNESS AS A MEASURE OF TEACHER SELF-EFFICACY FOR INCLUSIVE EDUCATION. THIS PAPER DISCUSSES THE RESULTS FOUND BY ANALYZING VARIOUS VERSIONS OF THE TSES AND TSES-C IN A CHINESE FORMAT WITH 200 PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS IN MACAO (SAR).&NBSP||PSYCHOMETRIC ANALYSES WERE UNDERTAKEN TO INVESTIGATE THE VALIDITY OF THE EXISTING SCALES AND THE THREE AND TWO FACTOR SOLUTIONS. THE RESULTS INDICATED A PREFERRED 9-ITEM VERSION THAT PRODUCED IMPROVED FACTOR LOADINGS AND RELIABILITIES. THE USE OF A RELATIVELY QUICK AND SHORT SCALE TO MEASURE SUCH A COMPLEX PHENOMENON AS TEACHER SELF-EFFICACY IS DISCUSSED. ISSUES ARE RAISED REGARDING GENERALIZABILITY OF SCALES AND THE IMPACT OF CULTURE, DEMOGRAPHICS, AND EDIFYING ISSUES THAT MAY IMPACT ON THE USEFULNESS OF SUCH SCALES.
