| Abstract [eng] |
Teachers’ attitudes toward integrated teaching of students with disabilities as well as the attitudes of able-bodied children toward their disabled pears appears to be a key factor or one of the most important variables in a successful integration of the disabled into mainstream education. The research data suggest that the general attitude of teachers from comprehensive schools to the integration of the disabled is positive and that they experience a great need of the knowledge about the problems of the disabled. If teachers’ need to obtain an adequate competence in order to work with disabled schoolchildren were met, favourable conditions for the integration of these schoolchildren into the general education system would be created. The research data reflecting a negative attitude of the teachers from special schools towards the integration of the disabled into the general system are to be considered as an expression of their personal interest. Such teachers would lose their jobs if the segregated special education system were reformed in Lithuania. |
