| Summary: | The main objective of this study was to construct an measuring instrument for estimating the attitudes about inclusion. The sample of preschool teachers from kindergartens in Osijek and Zagreb was examined, using the questionnaire Atittudes of the experts about the inclusion of children with development disabilities. We have confirmed the existence of seven latent dimensions of attitudes about the inclusion, defined as a simple linear combination of the items that define each factor, showing low and marginally satisfactory reliability, which ranges from very low (organizational adaptation, monitoring the inclusion criteria) to moderately high. From all the correlations between the dimensions of attitudes about inclusion, more than a third of them are mainly low, but statistically significantly and positively correlated. Based on the established metric characteristics, measuring instrument can be considered sufficiently good initial starting point for the construction of the final version of the instrument, intended for the evaluation of training on inclusion of preschool children's teachers. |
