Özet

Despite special classrooms and educational programs being developed for special needs students in the 19th century, it is now believed that the inclusion of special needs students with mainstream students is the more effective option. The aim of this study was to examine the views of elementary school teachers about inclusive education. Data was collected through interviews and the data analyzed using the content analysis method. Five teachers from a state school in Gaziantep, Turkey, participated in the study. It was found that when families were interested in special needs students, their teachers also shared that interest. The study also found that parents and teachers lacked detailed knowledge about inclusion, as well as measurement and evaluation not being satisfactorily conducted.
