“…Despite other studies that support the independent effects of gender and experience (Hergenrather 2007), the findings of this research suggest that generalised educational interventions may be designed that do not need to be tailored to specific demographic groups. Further research may be warranted to replicate these findings, as well as to test for other potential demographic influences on attitude change such as ethnicity or stage of career-e.g.…”

“…First, differences in attitude based on the gender of the research participant have been found (Findler et al 2007). For instance, Jaffe (1996) and Sandberg (1982) each found that female students were more accepting of cognitively impaired peers than males (Hergenrather 2007). Other research has found no difference between ratings of acceptance by males and females (Morgan and Wisely 1996;Peterson 1975;Tervo 2004) or found that males were more accepting of impaired peers than were females (Siperstein and Gottlieb 1977).…”

Student Attitudes Toward Impairment and Accessibility: an Evaluation of Awareness Training for Urban Planning Students

Within the urban planning profession, designing for the needs of people with impairments has rarely been a significant feature of planning theory and instruction. Given the role of urban planners in affecting the opinions of policy-makers and the public, the prevalence of negative and misinformed attitudes among planning professionals toward impaired populations has been highlighted as requiring study. This paper reports on the effectiveness of awareness training with regard to its influence on the attitudes of urban planning students toward the needs of people with impairments and accessible design. Using an established attitude assessment instrument (the Attitudes Towards Disablement Scale), pre and post-awareness training data were collected from 112 urban planning students. Results from the present study suggest that awareness training can result in significant attitude changes, independent of the student's gender or prior familiarity with impairment. The paper concludes with recommendations and caveats for planning education and research.

• ÖzToplumun önemli bir bölümünü oluşturan engellilerin karşılaştığı sorunlar; fiziksel, eğitim, meslek-gelir, ailevi ve toplumsal tutumlar başlıkları altında incelenmektedir. Ancak engellilerin sorunlarıyla ilgili genel sınıflandırmalar ve sadece fiziki unsurlara dayalı çözümler engellilerin toplumla bütünleşmesini sağlamada yeterli olmamaktadır. Özellikle engellilerin birer tüketici olarak kararlarını alabilmesi ve alışveriş ve boş zaman faaliyetlerinde bulunabilmesini kolaylaştırmada, bu ortamlarda karşılaştığı sorunların incelemesi yararlı olmaktadır. Engelliler alışveriş mekanları başta olmak üzere toplumsal ortamlarda sadece fiziksel engellerle karşılaşmamaktadır. Engelli olmayan bireylerin engellilere yönelik tutum ve davranışları da engel oluşturabilmektedir. Bu çalışma bedensel engellilerin alışveriş ortamlarında karşılaştıkları sorunların tespit edilmesi ve bu sorunların engelliler ve engelli olmayanlara göre karşılaştırılması ile engellilerin alışveriş ve boş zaman mekanları başta olmak üzere toplumla bütünleşmesine katkı sağlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu doğrultuda öncelikle ikincil veriler aracılığıyla engellilerin alışveriş ve boş zaman değerlendirme ortamlarında karşılaştıkları sorunlar tespit edilmektedir. Ardından, belirlenen sorunların önem düzeyini ortaya koymak ve engelli olmayanlar ile karşılaştırmalı analizler yapmak için Kırıkkale'de kolayda örnekleme ile bedensel engellilerden ve engelli olmayanlardan kantitatif anket yöntemiyle birincil veriler toplanmıştır. Farklılık analizi sonuçları engellilerin, engelli olmayanlara göre alışveriş yapabilme ve boş zaman faaliyetlerine katılabilme düşüncesine daha fazla katıldıklarını göstermektedir. Ayrıca engelliler, engelli olmayanların yapmacık şekilde sevimli görünmeye çalıştığı yargısına engelli olmayanlara göre daha fazla katılmaktadır. Bununla birlikte engelliler fiziksel engellerle karşılaştıklarına engelli olmayanlara göre daha fazla katılmaktadır. Son olarak, kadınların ve engelli yakını olan bireylerin engellilerin alışveriş ve boş zaman faaliyetlerinde bulunabileceği ile ilgili değerlendirmelere daha fazla katıldığı tespit edilmektedir. Araştırma sonuçları, engelli tüketici davranışlarının desteklenmesi ve engellilere yönelik olumlu ve doğru tutumların geliştirilmesi bakımından yararlıdır.Anahtar Kelimeler: Engelli Tüketici, Alışveriş, Boş Zaman, Sosyal Engel. AbstractProblems faced by disabled people, which constitute significant part of society, are examined under titles of physical, educational, occupational-income, family and social attitudes. However, general problem classifications and solutions based on solely physical elements are not enough to ensure the integration of them with society. Facilitating the ability of disabled people to make decisions as a consumer and to participate in shopping and leisure time activities, examining problems faced by people with disabilities would be helpful to in terms of shopping and leisure time environments. Disabled people are met not only with physical barriers in social environments especially for...

“…Numerous studies have looked at preservice teachers and their attitudes, sentiments and concerns about teaching children with disabilities [15][16][17]; but few have focused specifically on self-efficacy and its potential to direct preservice teacher beliefs in their own capabilities when working with these students [18,19]. There are also unique issues relating to the theory transfer into practice in teacher education with often limited detail regarding what goes on in a session in order to try and prepare students for conditions that will be found in the field [2,20,21].…”

Enhancing the Inclusive Self-Efficacy of Preservice Teachers through Embedded Course Design

This study was an initial investigation into the effects of Embedded Design on the self-efficacy of pre-service teachers studying inclusive education. Forty-one participants completed pre-and postquestionnaires to determine differences in self-efficacy prior to and again at completion of an inclusive education course in an undergraduate teaching degree. A modified version of the scale developed by Hickson (1995), the "Self-Efficacy toward Future Interactions with People with Disabilities" (SEIPD) was employed for data collection. This data was supplemented by way of anonymous formal student feedback collected from the university. Findings indicate that the theoretically designed course did in fact significantly improve self-efficacy between pre-and postoccasions. Limitations of the present study are discussed as well as implications for future practice in the design of preservice courses for inclusive education.
