Résumé

Les croyances des enseignants concernant les capacites de leurs eleves handicapes ont une incidence sur le bien-etre et la reussite des eleves. Ces croyances orientent souvent les decisions et les pratiques pedagogiques des enseignants, ce qui peut influencer la qualite de l'experience d'apprentissage des eleves handicapes. Les croyances sont couramment etablies tot et peuvent etre difficiles a modifier, bien que cela ne soit pas impossible. Dans la presente etude a methodes mixtes, 57 futurs enseignants poursuivant une double certification en enseignement general et en education specialisee ont recu du materiel lie aux etudes sur le handicap dans le cadre de leur cours de methodes en education specialisee. Au debut et a la fin du semestre, les participants ont redige une definition du handicap et ont rempli une enquete sur les croyances concernant leurs perceptions des personnes handicapees. Certains sujets comprenaient l'usage du langage, le validisme, la neurodiversite, l'intersectionnalite et l'accessibilite. Les etudiants se sont engages dans ces sujets par le biais de discussions et d'occasions de reflexion. Les resultats ont montre certaines evolutions positives dans la comprehension du handicap par les futurs enseignants ; toutefois, il reste encore beaucoup de place pour l'amelioration. Les implications et les prochaines etapes sont examinees.

Teachers’ beliefs about their disabled students’ abilities impact students’ well-being and success. These beliefs often inform teachers’ decisions and instructional practices, which can influence the quality of disabled students’ learning experience. Beliefs are commonly established early on and can be difficult to shift, although not impossible. In the current mixed-methods study, 57 preservice teachers pursuing a dual licensure in general and special education were taught disability-studies-related material within their special education methods course. At the beginning and end of the semester, participants wrote a definition for disability and completed a belief survey regarding their perspectives of people with disabilities. Some topics included language usage, ableism, neurodiversity, intersectionality, and accessibility. Students engaged with the topics through discussions and reflection opportunities. Results showed some positive shifts in preservice teacher understanding of disability; however, there is still much room for growth. Implications and next steps are discussed.
