Abstract:
Most information concerning teachers' attitudes regarding inclusion is dated. The present study used the interview methodology to examine issues prevalent in previous studies (e.g., support services) and issues not yet studied (e.g., parent contact, effects on teachers). Research questions focused on (a) information, support, resources, and placements; (b) parent contact and involvement; (c) outcomes on students with disabilities, typical students, and teachers; and (d) teachers' advice. Individual interviews were conducted with 43 teachers (16 elementary, 15 orchestra, & 12 band). Perceived emotional content for teachers' responses was also assessed. Results show that teachers have generally positive attitudes concerning inclusion and their access to support. Attitudes were also positive regarding outcomes for both students with and without disabilities. Several differences and consistencies among the groups lead to questions that merit the study of possible relationships among variables (parent contact, type of support, teacher attitudes).
