Abstract
It is aimed to determine whether there is a significant difference between teachers' attitudes and self-efficacy towards inclusive education and the entrepreneurial characteristics of the school principals they work with. The population of the study consists of 6367 teachers working in public and private schools in Isparta in the 2023-2024 academic year. The sample consists of 585 teachers selected through convenience sampling. In the data collection process of the study, the School Principal's Entrepreneurial Competencies Scale developed by Köybaşı (2016), the Teacher Attitude Scale towards Inclusive Education developed by Kielblock (2018) and the Teacher Self-Efficacy Scale towards Inclusive Education were used. It was concluded that the scales were highly reliable and had significant validity. Correlation analysis and regression analysis were used in statistical analyses. As a result of the research, it was seen that school principals’ entrepreneurial characteristics positively affect teachers’ attitudes towards inclusive education and their self-efficacy at a moderate level. It was concluded that school principals’ entrepreneurial characteristics predicted 25% of teachers’ attitudes towards inclusive education and there was a positive moderate relationship between them, and school principals’ entrepreneurial characteristics predicted 31% of teachers’ self-efficacy towards inclusive education and there was a positive moderate relationship between them.
