Abstract

A total of 82 pre-service general education teachers were surveyed regarding their perspectives toward the inclusion of students with disabilities into general education classrooms before and after taking one three-unit university course on human diversity. Results indicated that (a) positive perceptions varied depending on the type of disability of the student, and (b) pre-service general education teachers benefit from a course in human diversity due to the improvement of their overall perceptions of students with disabilities by the end of the course.
