Summary/Abstract: The main aim of the study was to examine teachers in the Písek district in their ability to integrate pupils with selected types of disabilities (mental, physical and visual) into school physical education. The secondary aim was to compare self-efficacy in selected groups of teachers. As part of the exploratory research, the SE-PETE-D questionnaire with a modified 4th part was used. The research was carried out between January and April 2022 and involved 32 physical education teachers from primary schools in the Písek district. The respondents were 19 women and 13 men in the agerange of 24-72 years. Descriptive statistics were used to process the results. The research showed that the average level of self-efficacy of the sample of teachers was 3.39 on a scale from 1 to 5. Teachers‘ self-efficacy was highest in the case of mental disabilities, lower in the case of physical disabilities and lowest in the case of teachers‘ confidence in their ability to integrate visually impaired pupils. Men had higher self-efficacy than women, and teachers with practical experience had higher self-efficacy than teachers without practical experience.
