Summary: | This paper presents various specific attitudes concerning the inclusive education of parents and educators connected with main educational facilities in the County of Iasi. Sixty-six parents and 54 educators participated in the study and filled in two specific scales: Parental Attitudes toward the Kindergarten Inclusion Scale (PATKIS) and My Own Child in an Inclusion Classroom Scale concerning the attitudes regarding the inclusion of children with special educational needs in the main educational stream. Significant differences between educators with higher education degrees and those with undergraduate degrees are noticed: professionals with fewer years of formal education have a more positive attitude regarding the inclusion of pupils with special needs in the main stream educational system. The results are important for teachers and parents who have children with special educational needs. |
