Zimbabwean Teachers' Attitudes towards the Integration of Pupils with Disabilities into Regular Classrooms.

Barnartt, Sharon N.; Kabzems, Venta

International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, v39 n2 p135-46 1992

This paper reports results of surveys administered in 1989 and 1990 to 197 Zimbabwean teachers. Results indicated low levels of acceptance of integration of pupils with disabilities, despite official educational policy supporting integration. Attitudes differed depending on specific impairment and whether the teacher's own classroom or classrooms in general were being discussed. (DB)
