Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships among Chinese in-service preschool teachers' characteristics, teachers' self-efficacy for inclusive education, and teachers' attitudes towards inclusion. A total of 736 in-service preschool teachers from seven provinces and a municipality (i.e. Beijing City) of China participated. The results of structural equation modelling provided evidence that teachers' interactions with people with disabilities, in-service training and self-efficacy predicted preschool teachers' attitudes directly. Additionally, in-service training and knowledge of local policy of inclusive education predicted preschool teachers' attitudes towards inclusion via the moderation of self-efficacy. Implications for research and practice are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
