Attitudes of high school students toward inclusion of students with mild intellectual disabilities
Abstract
Attitudes are a combination of beliefs and feelings that are manifested through different forms of behavior (Noe, 2002); the importance of attitude in the life of individuals confirms its numerous functions. The overall aim of this study is to determine the attitudes of high school students towards the integration of children with mild intellectual disabilities in regular schools. The sample comprised 74 subjects, 37 females and 37 males, aged from 16 to 19 that attend vocational school in Pirot. Questionnaire to assess attitudes of high school students towards the integration of children with intellectual disablity is adapted (Furman, Buhrmester 1985) The Network of Relationships Inventory. The results show that there is a correlation between social interaction of students in the class and attitudes toward inclusion of students with intellectual disablity (p = 0.000). Gender affects whether students will socialize with students with intellectual disability (p = 0019) on excursion, too... (p = 0.001). Female respondents showed a greater willingness than male subjects did, that agrees with the results of research Vignes and co-workers. (2009). The influence of parents and teachers on the attitudes of high school students toward inclusion of students with intellectual disbility is evident.
