ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to examine the perception of special education graduate students regarding co-teaching issues such as teacher training, school supports, contribution to inclusion and students with and without disabilities, and utilization. A survey was distributed to 277 graduate students, and 100 surveys(36%) were returned. Findings indicated that almost half of respondents indicated the undergraduate teacher program did not provide co-teaching related training, whereas half of them indicated they received training from their graduate program. Although respondents felt that co-teaching will contribute to inclusion and students’ achievement, they perceived that there was not enough support from school to implement co-teaching methods. Respondents suggested recommendations to the teacher education program to effectively include the co-teaching topic in the curriculum. The limitations of this study and suggestion for practices and future research were discussed.
