Teachers' Attitudes towards Inclusion of Students with Intellectual Disability in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Memisevic, Haris; Hodzic, Saudin
International Journal of Inclusive Education, v15 n7 p699-710 2011
The aim of this study is to examine the attitudes of teachers in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) towards educational inclusion of students with intellectual disability into regular classes. The sample for this study consisted of 194 elementary school teachers from eight schools in BiH. The attitudes of the teachers were measured by "The Attitudes towards Inclusion" questionnaire. The results of this study indicate that a little more than 50% of the teachers support the concept of inclusion. Another finding of this study reveals that the teachers believe that they are not supported enough in order to efficiently deal with the issue of inclusion. BiH still has a lot of challenges to deal with in successfully implementing the process of inclusion. (Contains 5 tables.)
