Principals’ and Teachers’ Attitudes: Factors Influencing The Integration of Disabled Students
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 October 2015
Extract
Although there appears to be little dispute regarding the philosophical principles underlying the policy of integrating disabled children into regular classes (mainstreaming), no such consensus exists about the effectiveness of its implementation. One possible method of identifying factors which may be related to the efficacy of the mainstreaming process is to examine the attitudes of principals and teachers towards the integration of disabled students. This is primarily because principals’ attitudes may influence their enrolment policies, while teachers’ attitudes appear to reflect their confidence in teaching a typical pupils (Hararsymiw & Horne, 1976).
