Using Literacy Texts in Teacher Education To Promote Positive Attitudes toward Children with Disabilities.
Overview & Synopsis
Two experimental studies involving 70 preservice teachers are described that examined the effect of literary texts in teacher education on changing attitudes toward children with disabilities. In both studies, reading literary texts was more effective than reading professional texts in promoting positive attitude change. Implications are discussed. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
