A Model of the Determinants of Teachers' Attitudes to Integrating the Intellectually Handicapped.

Thomas, David

Australasian Journal of Special Education, v12 n2 p12-18 Nov 1988

The paper describes a model of teachers' attitudes toward integrating children with moderate learning difficulties based on interviews with 550 teachers in Arizona and the United Kingdom. The model has four factors: traumatic experiences with the handicapped, class size, the "what-happened yesterday" factor, and leadership. (Author/DB)
