Attitudes to inclusion in India. This study was undertaken to
explore the attitudes and concerns of primary school principals and
teachers regarding the integration of students with disabilities
into regular school programs in Delhi, India and, to determine
whether there were significant differences between them regarding
such attitudes and concerns. Additionally, the study sought to
determine whether the attitudes and concerns held by principals and
teachers were significantly related to their background variables.
Three variables: 'gender', 'having a relative with a disability'
and 'perceived parental support for integrated education' were
significant predictors of both principals' and teachers' concerns
about integrated education. In the case of principals, there were
two further predictors of their concerns about integrated education
viz. 'age' and 'having a family member with a disability'. In the
case of teachers, 'years of teaching experience' and 'perceived
level of confidence in teaching students with disabilities' emerged
as additional predictors of their concerns. Implications of the
findings for policy makers, educators and future researchers are
discussed.
