ABSTRACT

The present study aimed to explore parents’ attitudes towards including children with disabilities (CWDs) in public kindergartens (KGs) in Jordan. A questionnaire was developed and distributed to 250 parents of CWDs and others without disabilities at the kindergarten stage. The results revealed that most respondents had neutral attitudes towards including CWD issues in public KG, and about 36.4% of parents held negative attitudes. The results of multiple regression analysis also indicated that the parent’s gender, age, having a CWD, and degree of disability, were considered statistically significant predictors of the parents’ attitudes towards including CWDs in public kindergartens. Implications of the findings and recommendations are provided.

摘要

本研究旨在探讨约旦家长对将残疾儿童（CWD）纳入公立幼儿园（KG）的态度。我们制作了一份调查问卷，分发给 250 名患有 CWD 和其他幼儿园阶段无残疾的家长。结果显示，大部分受访者对将慢性病问题纳入公立幼稚园持中立态度，约36.4%家长持负面态度。多元回归分析的结果还表明，家长的性别、年龄、是否患有CWD以及残疾程度被认为是家长对将CWD纳入公立幼儿园的态度的统计显着预测因素。提供了调查结果和建议的含义。
