Abstract

Implementation of inclusive educational model in the Republic of Serbia in 2010, have put teachers as key figures in the focus of professional and scientific interest. Since teachers’ attitudes towards inclusive teaching is one of the main factors of the inclusion efficacy, and since Serbia is mostly rural region (70% of the territory), the study was conducted in order to analyse rural and urban schools teachers’ attitudes towards inclusive physical education. Total sample of participants comprised of 84 primary teachers (80 females, 4 males). The ATIPE questionnaire (Hutzler, Zach, & Gafni, 2005) was applied for the assessment of teachers’ attitudes towards inclusive physical education. The results indicated that teachers from rural and urban areas shared similar socio-professional status. Teachers reported moderately positive attitudes toward inclusive physical education. Differences between subsamples were near the level of significance (p = .06), with rural school teachers expressing slightly more positive attitudes.
