Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
The trends in inclusive education in Turkey begining in 2013 brought with it the basic important factor for successful inclusion: teacher beliefs and attitudes toward inclusion. At this point, the sentiments, attitudes, and concerns of teacher candidates need to be assessed with reliable and valid measures. Therefore the aim of this study was to adapt such an assessment tool for the Turkish culture. The Sentiments, Attitudes and Concerns about Inclusive Education Scale Revised (SACIE-R), a widely used assessment tool in various countries was selected for this purpose. A total of 567 undergraduate students studying in faculties of education across 4 Turkish universities participated in the study. The results of confirmatory factor analysis and reliability measures showed that SACIE-R showed good psychometric properties for Turkish teacher candidates.
