Teachers’ perspective about the school context in inclusive education

Abstract

This article presents a study dealing with a self-evaluation by teachers about the promotion of inclusive education in Early Childhood and Primary schools. It is a non-probabilistic, descriptive, quantitative research, which seeks to discern whether inclusive values are taught in the school context. The ACADI self-assessment questionnaire was used as an instrument to amass information, specifically 36 items out of a total of 101 in area A (school context). For data analysis, version 26 of the SPSS statistical program was used. The sample consisted of 59 teachers of preferential educational attention centres in the Region of Murcia. The results show that teachers have a good perception of inclusive values, especially when it comes to those related to the School-based Educational Project and the Individualised Work Plan. It is concluded that all teachers need to be trained in order to cater for students with specific learning needs.
