The Impact of Self-Efficacy Beliefs and Life Satisfaction on the Professional Difficulties Faced by Child Development and Preschool Teachers

Öz:
Employment opportunities in special education and rehabilitation centers are provided for child developers and preschool teachers after graduation. However, due to undergraduate programs not being as broad as those for graduates in the field of special education, educators in this branch may encounter certain problems and put up with some difficulties, especially when first starting their profession. Educators’ self-efficacy beliefs are among the factors thought to have an effect on these difficulties being experienced. Educators’ self-efficacy beliefs have been determined to affect the professional difficulties they experience. On the other hand, the level of satisfaction educators get from their experiences also affects the difficulties they experience. Educators with high life satisfaction are seen to encounter few difficulties. This study aims to test the effect of the self- efficacy beliefs and life satisfaction of child developers and preschool teachers working in special education and rehabilitation centers on the difficulties they encounter in their professional lives. The sample of the research consists of 200 educators (132 child developers and 68 preschool teachers) between the ages of 21 and 52. A personal information form as well as the Teacher Self-Efficacy Beliefs Scale, Satisfaction with Life Scale, and Tool for Determining Difficulties Special Education Teachers Experience have been used as data collection tools for being able to obtain detailed information related to the teachers participating in the study. The study analyzes the obtained data using the package program SPSS 24.00. The independent samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and Pearson correlation analysis have been used in analyzing the data. Relationships have been found for life satisfaction with difficulties experienced and self-efficacy beliefs as well as between difficulties experienced in special education and self-efficacy beliefs. The obtained findings have been discussed within the scope of the literature, and some suggestions have been made as a result.

Öz:
Çocuk gelişimciler ve okul öncesi eğitimcileri mezun olduktan sonra istihdam olanakları özel eğitim ve rehabilitasyon merkezlerinde de sağlanmaktadır. Ancak lisans programları özel eğitim alan mezunları kadar geniş olmaması nedeni ile bu branştaki eğitimciler özellikle mesleğe ilk başladıklarında bazı problemlerle karşılaşabilmekte ve birtakım güçlükler çekebilmektedirler. Bu yaşanılan güçlüklere etki eden faktörler arasında eğitimcilerin öz yeterlik inançları gelmektedir. Eğitimcilerin öz yeterlik inançlarının mesleki anlamda yaşadıkları güçlükleri etkilediği belirlenmiştir. Diğer taraftan eğitimcilerin yaşam memnuniyet düzeyi de yaşadıkları güçlüklere etki etmektedir. Bu çalışmada özel eğitim ve rehabilitasyon merkezinde çalışan çocuk gelişimci ve okul öncesi öğretmenlerin öz yeterlik inançları ve yaşam doyumlarının mesleki yaşantılarında karşılaştıkları güçlüklere etkisini test etmek amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini yaşları 21 ile 52 arasında değişen 132 çocuk gelişimi 68 okul öncesi öğretmeni toplam 200 eğitimci oluşturmaktadır.
