Significant and effective implementation of inclusive education (IE) has been a major challenge in many countries during the last decades. Although teachers’ knowledge and skills are considered a key factor for successful inclusive practice, the whole school staff commitment and contribution to implementing IE policies are equally important. Collaboration between different professionals such as teachers, school leaders, and support specialists is crucial. This study aimed to design and implement an in-service training course for school teams (teachers, support specialists, school leaders) on IE in the Estonian context and to explore how participants experienced learning as a team in this course. The results of this study showed that the main aspects of the in-service training for school teams valued by participants were: (1) All topics covered in a systematic and coherent way gave a good opportunity to focus on relevant issues, which should be considered in the schools’ self-development activities in the field of IE; (2) practical approach to training structure helped to identify priority areas that need to be developed in particular schools; (3) learning from each other both within their own school team and across school teams contributed to finding the best solutions for meaningful implementation of IE. The implication of these findings is further discussed in the paper.

The changes in the education in the recent years have shown a shift from teacher-centered learning approaches to learning environments to the constructivist approach to which learners are centralized. The provision of learning autonomy can occur when the learner is still "active" using the constructivist approach. Learners must be supported to make learners "active". The research’s aim is to define the level of teachers' perceptions and behaviors of support for learning autonomy and to examine these levels according to some variables like “gender”, “seniority”, “educational status” and “studying any "in-service " education or not”. The research was conducted on a screening model. In this study, "Learning Autonomy Support Scale" was used to collect data from teachers. The scale was developed by Oğuz in 2013. The scale has a 3-factor structure. Mann Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis H tests were used as nonparametric analysis techniques. Also, some descriptive operations such as arithmetic mean and standard deviation were applied in the process of data analysis. The findings show that the secondary school teachers are “always” at the level of supporting the learning autonomy, but “all times” at the level of supporting the learning autonomy. Furthermore, there are important differences in the level of learning autonomy support behaviors compared to the variables of "seniority", "learning status", and "in-service training / course or seminar receiving" at the level of learning autonomy supporting behaviors, even though gender was not an important influence in supporting teachers' learning autonomy. In addition, although there is no significant effect of the "gender" variable on teachers' learning autonomy support behaviors, the levels of autonomy support behaviors, compared to the variables of "experience", "education status" and "in-service training / course or seminar reception", have important different effects.Extended English abstract is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file.ÖzetSon yılardaki eğitim alanındaki değişimler doğrultusunda öğrenme ortamlarında öğretmen merkezli öğrenme yaklaşımlarından, öğrencinin merkeze alındığı yapılandırmacı yaklaşıma doğru bir geçiş görülmektedir. Öğrenen özerkliğinin sağlanması, yapılandırmacı yaklaşım tarafından öğrenenin “aktif” hala getirilmesiyle ortaya çıkabilir. Öğrenenin “aktif” hale getirilmesi için de öğrenen desteklenmelidir. Bu araştırmada amaç, ortaokul öğretmenlerinin öğrenen özerkliğini destekleme davranışlarını gerekli görme ve sergileme düzeylerini belirlemek ve bu düzeyleri cinsiyet, kıdem, öğrenim durumu ve “hizmet içi eğitim/ kurs ya da seminer alma durumu”   değişkenlerine göre incelemektir. Araştırma, tarama modelinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu çalışmada, öğretmenlerden veri toplamak için “Öğrenen Özerkliğini Des­tekleme Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. “Öğrenen Özerkliğini Des­tekleme Ölçeği” Oğuz (2013) tarafından geliştirilmiştir. Verilerin çözümlenmesinde aritmetik ortalama, standart sapma gibi betimsel işlemler ile parametrik olmayan analiz tekniklerinden Mann Whitney U ve Kruskal Wallis H testleri uygulanmıştır. Bulgulardan yola çıkarak, ortaokul öğretmenlerinin öğrenen özerkliğini desteklemeyi her zaman düzeyinde gerekli bulduğu ancak öğrenen özerkliğini desteklemeyi çoğu zaman düzeyinde sergiledikleri söylenebilir. Bunun yanında, öğretmenlerin öğrenen özerkliğini desteklenme davranışlarında “cinsiyet” değişkeninin önemli bir etkisi olmamasına rağmen, özerkliği destekleme davranışları düzeylerinde “kıdem”, “öğrenim durumu” ve “hizmet içi eğitim/ kurs ya da seminer alma durumuna”  değişkenine göre anlamlı farklılıklar olduğu görülmüştür.
