Teachers' Perceptions of Mainstreaming in an Inquiry Oriented Elementary Science Program.

Atwood, Ronald K.; Oldham, Ben R.

Science Education, v69 n5 p619-24 Oct 1985

Teachers (N=146) using Science Curriculum Improvement Study were surveyed for their views on teaching disabled students in regular science programs. Results show that teachers feel positively about teaching disabled students (but also feel inadequate with this responsibility). Advantages and disadvantages of mainstreaming in elementary science are also discussed. (DH)
