Özet:

 This research aims to develop a candidate teachers attitude scale regarding the involvement of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder ASD in inclusive education. A total of 285 teacher candidates majoring in various disciplines of education faculties participated in this research. 39 n111 of the participants are male, and 61 n174 are female. As a result of the Exploratory Factor Analysis EFA, it is seen that the scale has a 3-factor structure education and training, Professional self-efficacy and Sensitivity. The three-factor structure consisting of education and teaching, Professional self-efficacy, and sensitivity sub-dimensions account for 63,55 of the total variance. Besides, the research findings include correlation values between the mean and standard deviations of the scale and its dimensions. Between-group comparisons regarding the item average scores of lower-upper groups were conducted to determine the reliability of the scale. It was found that comparison results between the lower and upper groups of 27 indicated a significant difference for all items. These findings obtained in the current study revealed that the three-factor structure of the scale was a valid and reliable tool in determining the attitudes of teacher candidates majoring in the Faculty of Education towards the involvement of individuals with Autism in inclusive education.

 Bu araştırmanın amacı otizm spektrum bozukluğu OSB olan bireylerin kaynaştırmabütünleştirme eğitimine katılımına ilişkin öğretmen adayları tutum ölçeği geliştirmektedir. Araştırmaya eğitim fakültelerinde farklı bölümlerde öğrenim gören toplamda 285 öğretmen adayı katılmıştır. Katılımcıların 39u n111 erkek, 61i n174 kadındır. Açımlayıcı faktör analizi AFA sonucunda ölçeğin eğitim ve öğretim, mesleki öz yeterlik ve duyarlık olmak üzere 3 faktörlü bir yapıya sahip olduğu görülmektedir. Eğitim-öğretim, mesleki öz yeterlik ve duyarlık alt boyutlarından oluşan üç faktörlü yapı toplam değişkenliğin 63,55ini açıkladığı görülmüştür. Ayrıca araştırma bulgularında ölçeğin ortalama ve standart sapmaları ile boyutları arasındaki korelasyon değerlerine yer almaktadır. Ölçeğin güvenirliğinin anlaşılması açısından alt-üst grup madde ortalamalarına ilişkin gruplar arası karşılaştırmalar yapılmıştır. Alt ve üst 27lik gruplar arası yapılan karşılaştırma sonuçlarının tüm maddeler için anlamlı olduğu görülmüştür. Elde edilen bu sonuçlar doğrultusunda ölçeğin 3 faktörlü yapısının eğitim fakültelerinde öğrenim gören öğretmen adaylarının otizmli bireylerin kaynaştırmabütünleştirme eğitimine katılımına yönelik tutumlarının belirlenmesinde geçerli güvenilir bir araç olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır.
