International Journal of Special Education, v32 n1 p180-205 2017
This study investigated the level of practices and training regarding asthma and its management among public primary school teachers in Jordan. A total sample of 57 teachers were selected to complete the survey and for the follow-up interviews. The results indicated that all teachers have positive attitudes toward including students with asthma in public school, although there are very few of them who were trained to manage asthma. Most importantly, findings in general suggested that the health and educational needs for students with asthma were not met in public schools settings. Recommendations and implications for future research are discussed in the context of the educational system in Jordan.
