Attitude to co-Education of Children with Disabilities and Healthy Children in Students of Pedagogical Specialties

223

Abstract

The article examines the attitude of students of pedagogical specialties to inclusive education, examines the causes of negative attitudes and identifies students’ perceptions of the psychological qualities of people who are in favor and against inclusive education. The author’s questionnaire used as a research method. The survey involved students of Yaroslavl State Pedagogical University named after K.D. Ushinsky and Rostov Pedagogical College. The results obtained in the study showed that the majority of students support the idea of inclusive education, and almost all of them are ready to help people with disabilities. The negative attitude towards inclusion in different students has different reasons, in particular, related to problems of healthy students, problems of students with disabilities and problems associated with difficulties for teachers and the lack of conditions necessary for such training. Based on a qualitative analysis of respondents’ opinions, concluded that a positive attitude towards inclusion is often a result of the subjective experience of a student communicating with people with disabilities, and not the result of an objective analysis of the situation in inclusive education.
