Özet:

 In this study, a measurement tool was developed in order to determine the attitudes of preschool and classroom teachers towards inclusive education practices. The participants of the study consisted of teachers working in 45 primary schools and five kindergartens. Some analyzes were used to ensure the validity and reliability of the Attitudes towards Inclusive Education Scale. In order to determine the construct validity of the scale, Exploratory Factor Analysis EFA and Confirmatory Factor Analysis CFA were performed. As a result of these analyzes, the final scale form consisting of 17 items was developed. As a result of the exploratory factor analysis, it was seen that the scale consisted of four factors attitude towards the disadvantaged student in inclusive education, teaching process, professional development and professional competence and explained 51.87 of the total variance. The reliability coefficients of the sub-factors vary between 0.40 and 0.74. The results of the analysis of the scale developed by the researcher show that the scale can be used to determine the attitudes of preschool and classroom teachers working in pre-school education institutions towards inclusive education.

 Bu araştırmada, okul öncesi ve sınıf öğretmenlerinin kapsayıcı eğitim uygulamalarına ilişkin tutumlarını belirlemek amacıyla bir ölçme aracı geliştirilmiştir. Araştırmanın katılımcıları, 45 ilkokul ve beş anaokulunda görev yapan öğretmenlerden oluşmaktadır. Kapsayıcı Eğitime Yönelik Tutum Ölçeğinin geçerlik ve güvenirliğinin sağlanması için bazı analizlere başvurulmuştur. Ölçeğin yapı geçerliğini belirlemek amacıyla Açımlayıcı Faktör Analizi AFA ve Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizleri DFA yapılmıştır. Bu analizler sonucunda 17 maddeden oluşan son ölçek formu ortaya konmuştur. Açımlayıcı faktör analizi sonucunda, ölçeğin dört faktörlü kapsayıcı eğitimde dezavantajlı öğrenciye, öğretim sürecine, mesleki gelişime ve mesleki yeterliğe yönelik tutum yapıdan oluştuğu ve toplam varyansın 51,87sini açıkladığı görülmüştür. Ölçeğin tamamına ilişkin Cronbach-Alpha güvenirlik katsayısı 0,85 olarak bulunmuştur. Alt faktörlerin güvenirlik katsayıları 0,40 ile 0,74 arasında değişim göstermektedir. Araştırmacı tarafından geliştirilen ölçeğin analiz sonuçları, ölçeğin okul öncesi eğitim kurumlarında görev yapan okul öncesi ve sınıf öğretmenlerinin kapsayıcı eğitime yönelik tutumlarını belirlemek için kullanılabilir nitelikte olduğunu göstermektedir.
