Perception and attitude of training teachers towards educative inclusión

Abstract

The following study describes the attitudes that Elementary School training teachers and High School History and Geography training teachers show towards including special needs students (NEE) in the regular education system. An enquiry considering variables rela-ted to students, teachers and classrooms was applied. Outcomes show that, in general, the sample presents a favorable tendency towards inclusión; nevertheless, this positive tendency only appears in variables related to students. Besides, significant statistical differences were detected when comparing responses of both groups on study. These dissimilarities are probably associated to the training teachers' academic formation and/or the professional interests of this particular group of training teachers.
