In Turkey, a trend is
beginning to start towards inclusive practices by the initiatives of the
Ministry of Education. Teachers are beginning to be placed in a position to
adapt their instructions to meet the needs of their students in heterogonous
settings. The main purpose of the present study was to develop a Self-Efficacy
Scale of Differentiated Instruction, which assesses self-efficacy of student
teachers with regards to differentiated instruction. A total of 361 senior
student teachers who are at the final days at the university participated in the
study. The scale was developed through five stages, namely; development of
scale items, ensuring content validity, piloting, implementation and factor
analysis and reliability. The results show that the scale is composed of three
factors that are consistent with the predicted constructs: Planning, teaching
practice, assessment. The scale could be used in future research to examine competencies
of student teachers in terms of differentiated instruction.
