Abstract

The purpose of the research was to determine and compare the attitudes of church school students toward the inclusion of children with autism spectrum disorders and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in physical education classes. A total of 147 able-bodied church school students (boys, n=66 with a mean age of 13.36±1.15 years; girls, n=81 with a mean age of 13.22±1.18 years) participated in the research. A questionnaire modelled after the CAIPE-R (Children's Attitude toward Inclusive Physical Education-Revised) was used as a research method. The results of the present study revealed significantly more positive attitudes towards the inclusion of peers with autism spectrum disorders in physical education classes than peers with attention deficit hyperactivity disorders. This result was confirmed in the girl’s group’s social relationships and the rules modifications in both genders of church school students.
