The purpose of this study is to present a review of instruments developed to measure perceptions of special educators regarding their competencies and to provide a synthesis of research studies using these measurement instruments. A total of 29 studies were included in this review, and 20 instruments were used across the studies. The results were as follows. First, the majority of the instruments in this review were designed for assessing in‐service special educators. Second, there was a shortage of instruments designed for measuring necessary competencies in family supports and collaboration with families. Third, reliability and validity were reported for only 11 of the instruments. Finally, most studies utilised the tools in surveys; only two studies used the tools to investigate the effectiveness of the teacher support programmes implemented in their experiments. These results are discussed, and implications for future studies are proposed.

评估衡量特殊教育者能力的工具

这项研究的目的是介绍对用来衡量特殊教育者对他们的能力的理解程度而开发的工具的综述，并提供使用这些度量工具进行的研究研究的综合。该评价共纳入29项研究，整个研究中使用了20项仪器。结果如下。首先，本次审查中的大多数工具都是为评估在职特殊教育者而设计的。其次，缺乏用于衡量家庭支持和与家庭合作的必要能力的工具。第三，仅11种仪器报告了信度和效度。最后，大多数研究都使用了调查中的工具。只有两项研究使用该工具调查了在他们的实验中实施的教师支持计划的有效性。讨论了这些结果，并提出了对未来研究的启示。
