RESULTS: Results of structural equation modelling revealed that school inclusive education climate had a significant effect on physical education teachers’ agency. School inclusive education climate had a significant influence on physical education teachers’ inclusive education competency. The mediation effect of physical education teachers’ agency on the relationship between school inclusive education climate and inclusive education competency was significant as well.
