Elementary Teachers' Attitude Towards Inclusion

The study has identified elementary school special education and general education teacher attitudes on inclusive education in district Kurukshetra. The general education teachers agreed significantly more than special education teachers that; students with disabilities participate in classroom activities with their peers without disabilities, that students with learning disabilities are able to participate productively in general education classroom learning activities, that inclusive education improves social skills of students with disabilities, that students without disabilities accept their peers with disabilities in the general education classroom, and that students with cognitive and learning disabilities appear to adapt behaviorally and academically to inclusive education. Lastly, the special education teachers agreed significantly more than the general education teachers that the special education room should only be used as a resource when the general education teacher cannot adequately meet the needs of the student with disabilities in their classroom.
