The purpose of this study was to analyze elementary school teachers’ the satisfaction and the need in
administrative- financial supports for managing inclusive classroom efficiently. For this purpose, research questions
were as follows: 1) how satisfied are elementary school teachers with administrative-financial support for
managing inclusive classroom? 2) how intense is elementary school teachers’ need of administrative-financial
support for managing inclusive classroom efficiently? The subjects of this study were 205 teachers at 20
elementary schools in the Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education, and 200 questionnaires were used in the final
analysis. In order to survey the teachers’ satisfaction and their need of administrative-financial supports for
managing inclusive classroom, questionnaires were constructed with previous studies. The satisfaction with
administrative-financial supports for managing inclusive classroom was measured by the mean and standard
deviation of each question, and the need of supports was analyzed through frequency analysis for multiple choice
questions. Major findings of this study are summarized as follows. First, with regard to elementary school
teachers’ satisfaction from personnel support part, satisfaction with principals' support was the lowest and
satisfaction with administrative support was also low. With regard to satisfaction with financial support,
satisfaction with financial support for teachers was very low. Second, with regard to elementary school teachers’
need of personnel support, the strongest needs was the principal’s administrative support. In addition, they
demanded administrative support such as supervision support and various forms of inservice-training programs.
With regard to need of financial support, they wanted various incentive systems including the extra-pay for
individual teachers, selective additional score, and additional funds for managing inclusive classroom. According to
these results, it is necessary to develop and to apply new teacher-support model for managing inclusive
classroom efficiently, and that new model should be based on teachers' needs analysis such as principal’s
administrative support, various forms of inservice-training programs and various incentive systems.
