MetadataShow full item record
This study explored the perceptions of general education students regarding individuals with severe disabilities, and perception changes when students with disabilities are included within the regular education classroom. The study occurred in a Midwestern urban high school with a total population of 1,959 students. A pre and post survey based on a Likert scale and three open-ended questions were given to two general education classes where students with severe cognitive disabilities were included within the class. The same survey was given once at the start of the semester and again upon conclusion of the semester. Student responses were analyzed using a T-test, and themes were developed with responses from the open-ended questions. Student responses indicated an increase in comfort level with students with disabilities after inclusion was implemented. Student responses also indicated perceptual changes on educational abilities of students with severe disabilities.

Uelewa wa Wanafunzi wa Elimu ya Jumla wa Wanafunzi wenye Ulemavu Mkubwa wa Ujuzi (MetaData) - Uchunguzi huu ulichunguza maoni ya wanafunzi wa elimu ya jumla kuhusu watu wenye ulemavu mkali, na mabadiliko ya maoni wakati wanafunzi wenye ulemavu ni pamoja na ndani ya darasa la elimu ya kawaida. Utafiti huo ulifanyika katika shule ya sekondari ya Midwestern yenye wanafunzi 1,959. Uchunguzi wa kabla na baada ya masomo, kulingana na kiwango cha Likert, na maswali matatu ya wazi yalipewa madarasa mawili ya elimu ya jumla ambapo wanafunzi wenye ulemavu mkubwa wa utambuzi waliingizwa ndani ya darasa. Uchunguzi huo ulifanywa mara moja mwanzoni mwa muhula na tena mwishoni mwa muhula. Majibu ya wanafunzi yalitathminiwa kwa kutumia mtihani wa T, na mandhari zilitengenezwa kwa majibu kutoka kwa maswali ya wazi. Majibu ya wanafunzi yalionyesha ongezeko la kiwango cha faraja na wanafunzi wenye ulemavu baada ya kuingizwa kutekelezwa. Majibu ya wanafunzi pia yalionyesha mabadiliko ya utambuzi juu ya uwezo wa elimu wa wanafunzi wenye ulemavu mkubwa. Wanafunzi wenye ulemavu
