“…Nuestro trabajo se centra en los futuros docentes y su postura frente a la discapacidad, desde un enfoque de género. Este tema ha sido tratado desde distintos ámbitos relativos a la estrategia educativa (Bender, Fahrmeir y Lang, 1999), la formación de actitudes en los educadores (DeBettencourt, 1999) o la atención sanitaria (Klooster et al, 2009). En este sentido, la novedad del estudio consiste en incorporar el criterio de sexo como elemento discriminador.…”

“…Al mismo tiempo, se han desarrollado acciones que contribuyen a suprimir las barreras para favorecer su acceso y su inclusión social (Barton 2009;Sharma, Moore y Sonawane, 2009;Arana, Rodríguez y Meilán, 2008;Bausela, 2004;Center y Ward, 1987). Si bien estas actuaciones son importantes, deberían ir acompañadas de medidas que estimulen las relaciones interpersonales entre los estudiantes con discapacidad y sus compañeros, quienes constituyen su grupo de referencia social (Suriá, 2011;Klooster et al, 2009;Moreno et al, 2006;Bueno y Mirambel, 2003;Polo y López, 2005). En este sentido, el objetivo de esta investigación es la identificación de los factores que determinan la actitud favorable y la predisposición a ayudar de los estudiantes universitarios hacia sus compañeros con discapacidad, dando una especial relevancia al sexo como factor diferenciador.…”

Resumen: La inclusión de las personas con discapacidad es una de las prioridades de las sociedades avanzadas, y para conseguirla, la educación constituye un instrumento de primera magnitud. En este trabajo se estudia el apoyo a la inclusión de estudiantes con discapacidad en el entorno universitario. El modelo teórico de referencia es el propuesto por la Teoría del Comportamiento Planeado, que se ha aplicado utilizando los datos obtenidos a través de una encuesta realizada a 621 estudiantes de las titulaciones de Ciencias de la Educación en la Universidad de A Coruña, durante el curso 2010-2011. Los resultados muestran la importancia del género como factor diferenciador, revelando una mayor implicación de las mujeres que de los hombres para favorecer la inclusión de los compañeros universitarios con discapacidad. La relevancia de estos resultados aumenta si se considera la repercusión social que tiene esta mayor implicación del colectivo mayoritario en el ámbito de la educación en su fase más temprana, momento en el que se produce la formación de actitudes. Palabras clave: discapacidad; inclusión; género; actitudes; TPB; educación.Title: Future teachers and their attitude towards inclusion of people with disabilities. A gender perspective. Abstract: The inclusion of people with disabilities is a priority in advanced societies. To get it, education is one of the best tools. In this paper, we have studied the support for the inclusion of students with disabilities in the university environment. Our work is related to the theoretical model proposed by the Theory of Planned Behavior and was performed by using data obtained through a survey conducted at the University of A Coruña (Spain) during the 2010-2011 academic year, to 621 students from all degrees in Education Science. The results show the importance of gender as a differentiating factor, revealing a greater involvement of women compared to men, in the stimulus of the inclusion of their university peers suffering disability. The relevance of these results increases if we consider the social impact of this higher involvement of this group (women), that is majority in the primary education, when the formation of attitudes is developed. Key words: disability; inclusion; gender; attitudes; TPB; education. IntroducciónTratando de conseguir el llamado Estado del Bienestar, las políticas inclusivas han pasado a formar parte de las agendas de los gobiernos, lo que afecta a las políticas de atención a la diversidad, entre otras. El vínculo entre discapacidad y marginalización en la educación es evidente en todos los países, independientemente de su grado de desarrollo. Por ello, la consecución de la educación primaria está comprendida entre los Objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio (ODM) (Naciones Unidas, 2010).La sensibilidad social generada hacia la discapacidad, unida a un mayor acceso de los estudiantes a la educación superior en los países más desarrollados, ha favorecido el incremento del número de alumnos con discapacidad que han ingresado en la universidad (Verd...

“…A cross sectional studies of 128 baccalaureate nursing and non nursing students in the Netherlands were recruited to join this research and complete the ATDP forms A and the SADP [46] Nursing students scored more positive in attitude toward disability than non-nursing counterparts in school. Researchers are now exploring if the form of contact with the disabled influences attitude.…”

“…Future researchers may study if the quality and not the quantity of an individual's contact with the disabled as a more significant attitude predictor. Attention to forms of contact beyond context may be necessary to understand a nurse's attitude towards the disabled [46]. The philosophy of a nursing curriculum influences a nursing student's attitude towards patients and groups of patients.…”

Introduction: Learning disabilities (LDs) 1 can be an invisible condition, and therapists 2 may come across clients that remain undiagnosed. Unless therapists are equipped to work with this client group, the therapeutic process could lead to damaging results. Aim: This study investigates attitudes 3 of private therapists towards working with clients with LDs in the field of counselling and psychotherapy. The overall aim was to raise awareness on the issue. Methodology: Primary research was conducted applying the Q-Methodology. Existing views were gathered from the literature and were used to study the range of subjective views on the topic. POETQ, an online application, enabled 23 private therapists across the United Kingdom to participate in the study. Data were analysed electronically using a computer application, specifically designed for the Q-Method. Results: Four Q-factors were defined that reflect the current attitudes amongst therapists: Factor 1: Therapists are responsible for the effectiveness of their service; Factor 2: LDs are a type of diversity; Factor 3: Lack of knowledge impacts on level of confidence and Factor 4: There is a need for therapists to undertake relevant training. Conclusions: These results show that participants in this study belong to a population that holds positive attitudes towards people with LDs and believe that a therapeutic relationship can be established with such clients. However, the nonresponse bias can potentially indicate that the majority of the population is unwilling to engage with clients with LDs. This study suggests that training, professional experience and direct personal contact and familiarity with LDs contribute towards positive attitudes. A further investigation of the factors that influence attitudes of therapists, could contribute towards improving the quality of psychotherapeutic services available to people with LDs.
