Abstract

Inclusive education is the practice that provides school experiences to children with disability or special needs in the same school and classrooms where normal students get education. Inclusive Education is the practice of educating students with moderate to severe disabilities alongside children without disabilities in general classrooms within their home neighbourhood schools (Brown et al. 1983). Attitude as a concept is concerned with an individual way of thinking, acting and behaving. Attitudes are formed as a result of some kind of learning experiences. A descriptive study by survey method was conducted to know attitude of pupil teachers towards inclusive education. The sample for the present study comprised of 240 pupil teachers from various teacher education colleges located at Faridabad district of Haryana selected randomly.
