Teachers' opinions and experiences with an inclusive school environment

Belková, Vlasta, 1952- Teachers' opinions and experiences with an inclusive school environment / Vlasta Belková, Štefan Petrík, Patrícia Zolyomiová. -- The paper reports part of the results of a study where the teacher's level of education effectiveness in inclusive classrooms (TEIP) was examined. There were 1216 (N) pedagogical employees of various school types and levels who participated in the research in the Slovak Republic (hereinafter SR), out of which 98% were teachers and 86% women. A self-designed questionnaire which included a modified range of the standardised instrument -- TEIP was used. Respondents filled in an anonymous questionnaire administered online. The main results show that a relatively high level of effective teaching is demonstrated by teachers who work as special teachers, teachers in special primary and high schools, or work with an SEN student (assistants). Teachers with a higher career grade showed a higher attitude score in the perception of their own professional ability to cooperate. There are stimulating results in the area concerning an ongoing society-wide strategy of integrating students with special educational needs (SEN students) into mainstream education. They will be further analysed and discussed in the context of other variables, as well as student samples that were part of the broader context in this research carried out by the KEGA project.
