Title: | Does intense contact with people with disabilities lead to more inclusive behaviour within professional practice? | Authors: | EMMERS, Elke Baeyens, Dieter Petry, Katja |
Issue Date: | 2022 | Publisher: | ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR \& FRANCIS LTD | Source: | EDUCATIONAL STUDIES, , p. 1 -15 | Abstract: | The teacher training programme set up a five-day sports camp to explore the effects of intense contact on the attitudes, self-efficacy and behaviour of pre-service teachers regarding persons with disabilities. A questionnaire based on the components of the theory of planned behaviour was completed by 77 pre-service participants. General analyses showed rather positive attitudes and a low level of self-efficacy. Results show that the subjective norm and self-efficacy are antecedents of intention, but attitudes were not. Intention in turn was not an antecedent of behaviour. We can cautiously conclude that direct and intense contact increases attitudes, self-efficacy and inclusive behaviour, therefore this study is a plea for direct and intense contact with people with disabilities as part of the curriculum. | Keywords: | Contact hypothesis;inclusion;attitudes;self-efficacy | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/39448 | ISSN: | 0305-5698 | e-ISSN: | 1465-3400 | DOI: | 10.1080/03055698.2022.2150512 | ISI #: | 000891481100001 | Rights: | 2022 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | ecoom 2023 |
