Analysis of Future Teachers’ Perceptions and Attitudes towards Diversity Inclusion

Abstract

Inclusive education seeks the comprehensive education of students regardless of their characteristics or needs, through the promotion of a social paradigm of rights and quality of life. Therefore, it is necessary that both service and preservice teachers maintain a positive attitude towards the coexisting diversity in schools. Based on this premise, the objective of this study was to know the sentiments, attitudes and concerns that future teachers of the Primary Education Degree at the University of Granada have about the inclusive education, as well as to determine the existence of correlations and statistical differences according to the dimensions analyzed. Following a quantitative approach, the SACIE-R and CEFI-R questionnaires were administered to 230 students, who expressed a good attitude towards diversity with significant variations in relation to the gender. It was found that those trainee teachers who had less knowledge about diversity were the ones who were more concerned about it, and that those who showed higher levels of concern were the ones who had more positive attitudes towards it. These results reinforce the idea that academic plans must be oriented and redesigned taking into consideration the students training needs.
