Abstract
This study aims to determine the attitudes of the trainers while teaching disabled students. Two hundred eighty-two people randomly selected among the trainers working under the Ministry of Youth and Sports in the Black Sea region participated in the research. The participants are 79 female and 203 male trainers working in the youth sports provincial and district directorates of the youth sports ministry. The descriptive method was used in the research. The descriptive method is a situation determination that indicates the current situation. Only one scale was used as a measurement tool. The scale of teachers' attitudes towards teaching disabled students consists of personal information and 22 items. In addition, the scale consists of four sub-dimensions. Attitudes are evaluated in terms of dimensions and overall attitude totals. Scale dimensions are behavioural purpose, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control, attitudes towards behaviour, and general attitude total. Since the data were normally distributed in the analysis of quantitative data, t-tests and ANOVA tests from parametric tests were used. As a result of the research, when the General Attitude Scale score is examined, it is seen that while the trainers' attitudes towards teaching disabled students are positive, some variables that predict these positive attitudes influence the attitudes, while others are not. Although it is seen that the special norm sub-dimension is effective in the effect of the trainers' attitudes, their general attitudes are positive
