Individualized student support in primary school teaching: A review of influencing factors using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB)

Year: 2018

Type: article

Abstract: According to the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB; Ajzen, 1991), each behavior results from a behavioral intention, which in turn depends on attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control. In this study, the TPB was investigated with respect to individualized student support and teachers' intrinsic and extrinsic support intentions involving 488 primary school teachers. Employing individualized support interventions was predicted directly by self-efficacy beliefs and the intrinsic support intention as well as indirectly by teachers’ attitudes. More practically experienced teachers implement support measures more often, while multi-groupcomparisons regarding advanced training showed no differences in the tested model for the TPB.
