Description
Attitudes and strategies proposed to facilitate inclusive education were examined. In Study I, prior to a tutoring intervention, 13 secondary school students completed the Attitudes Towards Disabled Persons scale, and Inclusion Strategies Questionnaire designed to elicit strategies for inclusion into five school scenarios. Attitude and strategy measures were re-administered after the intervention. Quantity of inclusion strategies increased for female tutors. Effect size indicated that male and female tutors increased in quality of responses. Total attitude scores did not change. In Study II, attitude and strategy measures were also administered to students in Grades 8, 10, and 12. No differences were found for grade or gender, although attitude differed according to the number of developmentally disabled persons known. It was concluded that knowledge about developmental disabilities, and personal contact with developmentally disabled peers may facilitate inclusive education.
