Abstract

This study aimed to identify attitudes of pre-service female teachers towards inclusion of students with visual impairment and blindness in regular school. Also aimed to know the impact of some variables (the Academic year, studying course in visual impairment, and previous experience in dealing with people with visual impairment or blindness) on these attitudes. To achieve the aims of this study, a questionnaire was applied to a sample of (130) Pre-service special education female teachers from Mu'tah University to measure the attitudes. The findings of this study indicated that the attitudes were neutral. Also, there are no statistically significant differences due to the academic year, studying course in visual impairment, and previous experience dealing with people with visual impairment and blindness.
