Abstract
Teachers often encounter challenges in effectively supporting learners with disabilities. This study aimed to determine the mediating effect of self-efficacy between motivation and teaching performance of teachers handling disabilities in inclusive settings. Using a descriptive correlational design 248 public elementary teachers were selected sample via purposive sampling. Data collection was survey and analysis done using mediation analysis. Results revealed that self-efficacy significantly and indirectly mediates the correlation between motivation and teaching performance, affirming the social cognitive theory. Utilizing other variables that may have a 71.2 percent influence on teaching performance is recommended.
