Abstract

The purpose of this study is to translate and adapt the Sentiments Attitudes and Concerns about Inclusive Education Scale (SACIE) for use in the Turkish context. For this purpose, translated version of SACIE was administered to 304 and 368 preservice teachers (PTs) for performing exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis respectively. The result of exploratory factor analysis revealed the three-factor structure of SACIE as sentiments, attitudes, and concerns. The confirmatory factor analysis supported three-factor structure of SACIE including 19 items. Moreover, the scale indicated a reasonable predictive validity to the self-efficacies of preservice teachers. The importance of the adaptation of the scale into Turkish was discussed.
