An Evaluation of the Effects of Special Education Course and Observation-Based Interaction Sharings on Developing Positive Attitudes of Students Enrolled in Education Faculties towards Individuals with Special Educational Needs

Öz

The purpose of this study is to find out how effective introduction and interaction sharings with individuals with Special Educational Needs (SEN) effect the university students who are taught to be teachers at the universities; and to shed advanced researches which will be planned in future in this field. In this study ‘single group pre-test post-test experimental design without control group’ among the other experimental models has been used. The reason of choosing this model is to present effectiveness of the practised programme and interaction model with changing attitudes. ‘Attitude Scale for the Individuals Effected from Disabilities’ developed by Yuker, Block and Young (1970) was carried out for defining the attitudes of studens towards the individuals affected from handicap in this study. According to the results of the study, pre-test point of the candidate students is 2.85 and final test point of them is 3.61 and in comparing these two different points, it is found that there is a statistically meaningfull difference for pre-test. In other words, the attitudes of the students towards students with SEN have been changed in positive way. Also, it was found that the university students’ attitudes have been increased in positive way
