Abstract:
In regular classrooms, teachers play a crucial part in ensuring the success of inclusive practices for students from a wide range of backgrounds. As children with special educational needs are integrated into regular classrooms, it is important for teachers to maintain a positive attitude towards their students. The main purpose of this study is to examine the attitude of elementary school teachers towards inclusive education in Jammu and Kashmir with respect to their gender, locality of schools and educational qualification. A total of 100 teachers were taken from schools from Jammu district as sample of the study through multi-stage sampling procedure. Mean, Standard Deviation and t-test were employed as statistical methods to analyze the collected data. The results of this study indicate that there are no appreciable differences in the attitude of teachers with respect to their gender and locality of school but it has been found that there is significant difference in attitude of teachers with respect to their educational qualification.
