The aim of this research was to measure teachers’ attitudes about inclusive education, teachers who are involve on in-service teacher training. When the teachers have a positive attitude towards inclusive school, they become more open to adjusting and changing the way they teach, in order to meet the numerous pupils’ learning needs. Studying the teachers attitudes towards the integration of the “special educational requirements” children help identifying the most appropriate influence measures, in order to establish relations based on mutual valorisation and promotion of equal participation opportunities. The investigation of the attitudes of teachers upon the integration process of students with special educational needs helps identify the best means of influencing, with the purpose to form relations based on mutual evaluation and to promote equity of participation chances.References
