The objective of
the research is to analyze the attitudes of classroom teachers towards
inclusion education in the consideration of certain variables. 500 teachers
working in different primary schools in Gaziantep have joined in the study. A
scale of attitudes towards inclusion, consisting of 40 questions and 5
sub-dimensions that was formed by researchers as a data instrument was applied
in the present work. It's identified at the end-of research that the points
attained by the teachers in the research from some sub-dimensions of the scale
of attitutes towards inclusion reflect statistically meaningful difference
according to gender, age group, length of service, marital status. As a result,
it's to be remarked that teachers’ attitudes towards inclusion give out
diffence according to some variables and certain sub-dimensions oriented to
inclusion don't indicate difference depending on diverse variables. The outcome
of this study reveales that not only the teachers' length of service, but also
the duration that the teachers have dealt with inclusive education is related
to their attitude towards inclusive education. However, there are also other research
findings in the literature, which reveal that the teachers' length of service
does not affect their ideas towards inclusive education. Following suggestions may
be made in the light of these findings: Students involved in the inclusive
education may be assigned to the classes of married teachers. It may be useful
for classroom teachers, who are in the first five years of their professional
career especially, not to be directly responsible for students of inclusive education.
