This study examined individual and instructional predictors of the self-determination of students with disabilities, as measured by The Arc?s Self-Determination Scale and the AIR Self-Determination Scale, Student version. The general findings indicated that instructional, knowledge and dispositional factors were stronger predictors of students? self-determination than personal predictor variables. In particular, self-efficacy and outcome expectancy scores, student-directed transition planning instruction, and students? pre-intervention transition planning knowledge were predictive of higher self-determination scores among students.
