Author(s): Evangelos BebetsosEvangelos Bebetsos
The aim of this study was to to examine if an intervention program would change students’ attitudes and intention(s) towards inclusion of disable students in a mainstream physical education class. The participants, 180 children without disabilities (Mage=11.15, SD=0.70), completed the revised version of the Theory of Planned Behavior Theory questionnaire (TPB), twice (pre and post-test). After the implementation of the intervention program, results revealed significant statistical differences in almost all factors between control and experimental groups. These findings could assist PE teachers in educating students to understand, develop and perform appropriate behaviors towards their peers in order to facilitate their co-existence, and their mutual development and learning, within a PE class. ..
