Examining the Views of Teachers on the Difficulties They Experience in Inclusive Education

Abstract

The research was carried out in order to reveal the difficulties experienced by teachers during inclusive education. Phenomenology, one of the qualitative research designs, was used in the research. 12 teachers working in Sakarya province were determined as the study group. In the research, it was concluded that the teachers received the Internet and the support of experts in the field in preparing IEP, that they had difficulties such as crowded classrooms and student reluctance in IEP implementation, that they had problems with the materials to be used in inclusive education, and that research students had problems in communicating with their families during the inclusive education process. On the other hand, it was concluded that most of the teachers participating in the research did not have any problems with the school administration, and that some teachers avoided cooperating with the teachers about inclusive education. On the other hand, the teachers participating in the research also offered solutions to the difficulties they experienced during inclusive education.
