Enhancing values in the educational system: effects on teachers attitudes toward inclusive education
Résumé
To enable inclusive education, values, organization, and functioning of the educational
system have been reshaped (Bonvin et al., 2013) but some barriers remain, and among them,
teachers' attitudes toward inclusive education. These attitudes are notably related to teachers’
values (Perrin et al., 2021). Due to the values the educational system also conveys, we assume
that making salient those known to be positively linked to attitudes could enhance more positive attitudes among teachers in comparison with a control condition or with negatively linked values. To test this hypothesis, 527 volunteer teachers were randomly assigned to 4
experimental conditions enhancing specific values in a fictitious front page of a teachers'
monthly magazine that they had to read before completing a measure of attitudes toward
inclusive education. Results partially support the hypothesis but support the idea that the values promoted by the educational system could influence teachers’ attitudes toward inclusive
education, and open up prospects for enhancing inclusive policies and finally making inclusion
an undeniable success.
