Stevens, Kimberly Y.
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, University of Hartford
The purpose of this exploratory study was to describe elementary, general-education teachers' reports of self-efficacy (Bandura, 1997) in using Marzano et al.'s (2010) evidenced-based instructional strategies to differentiate instruction for students with disabilities. The two frameworks that guided this investigation were Bandura's (1997) theory of self-efficacy model and Marzano et al's (2010) evidenced-based instructional strategies. One data source served this study. Specifically the Differentiating Instruction Scale ([DIS]; Stevens, 2011), a researcher developed survey was used to gather information from teachers about their confidence in using Marzano et al.'s evidenced-based instructional strategies to differentiate instruction for students with disabilities in their classrooms. Forty-six elementary, general-education teachers from a large county school district in a southwestern state completed the DIS (Stevens, 2011), an Internet-based survey. The DIS was designed to measure teachers' levels of confidence in using Marzano et al's (2010) evidenced-based instructional strategies to differentiate instruction for students with disabilities in their classrooms. Data analyses revealed that elementary, general-education teachers in this study reported feeling confident in using Routine Strategies and Content Strategies, as described in the DIS (Stevens, 2011). Notably, elementary, general-education teachers reported feeling very confident in using On-the-Spot Strategies, as described in the DIS.
