Résumé

La stigmatisation et les attitudes à l’égard de l’inclusion des élèves autistes ont principalement été étudiées dans les pays occidentaux. On sait encore peu de choses sur les facteurs qui façonnent ces perspectives concernant les élèves autistes dans différentes cultures. À l’aide d’un échantillon interculturel de futurs enseignants de Hong Kong et de l’Alberta, au Canada, nous avons cherché à évaluer si la participation à une formation en ligne sur l’autisme est associée à une amélioration des connaissances sur l’autisme, de la stigmatisation et des attitudes à l’égard de l’inclusion. Nous explorons également les facteurs culturels associés à la stigmatisation liée à l’autisme. Au total, 55 et 57 futurs enseignants du Canada et de Hong Kong, respectivement, ont suivi un module de formation en ligne comprenant des informations fondées sur la recherche concernant l’autisme et la neurodiversité. Les participants ont complété, avant et après la formation, des mesures évaluant les connaissances sur l’autisme, la stigmatisation et les attitudes à l’égard de l’inclusion, et ont répondu à des questions ouvertes sur leurs perceptions des personnes autistes et de leurs familles. Les résultats ont montré que, dans les deux pays, la participation à la formation était associée à une augmentation des connaissances sur l’autisme, à des attitudes plus positives à l’égard de l’inclusion et à une réduction de la stigmatisation. Dans les deux pays, une stigmatisation moindre liée à l’autisme était associée à de meilleures connaissances sur l’autisme, à une plus grande confiance dans l’enseignement aux personnes autistes, à une appréciation accrue de la biodiversité et à une orientation à la dominance sociale plus faible. Bien qu’ils aient eu davantage d’expérience antérieure dans l’enseignement aux personnes autistes, les participants de Hong Kong ont signalé une stigmatisation plus élevée liée à l’autisme et ont présenté des connaissances sur l’autisme moins importantes que leurs homologues au Canada. Par rapport au Canada, les participants de Hong Kong ont présenté davantage d’idées fausses et de stéréotypes concernant l’autisme et ont décrit les membres de la communauté comme traitant les personnes autistes et leurs familles avec moins de respect. Comprendre, dans différentes cultures, les connaissances et les attitudes des éducateurs à l’égard de l’autisme peut éclairer les besoins de formation et les approches adaptées à des cultures particulières. • Nous avons étudié la stigmatisation, les attitudes et les connaissances des futurs enseignants à l’égard des élèves autistes à Hong Kong et au Canada. • La participation à une formation en ligne était liée à une amélioration interculturelle des connaissances sur l’autisme, des attitudes et de la stigmatisation. • Les futurs enseignants de Hong Kong ont signalé davantage d’idées fausses, de stéréotypes et de stigmatisation communautaire à l’égard de l’autisme. • Les facteurs culturels et les contextes locaux doivent être pris en compte dans les formations destinées aux éducateurs issus de différentes cultures.

Stigma and attitudes toward the inclusion of autistic students have primarily been investigated in Western countries. Little remains known about factors that shape these perspectives about autistic students cross-culturally. Using a cross-cultural sample of pre-service teachers from Hong Kong and Alberta, Canada, we aimed to evaluate if participation in an online autism training is associated with improved autism knowledge, stigma, and attitudes toward inclusion. We also explore cultural factors associated with autism stigma. A total of 55 and 57 pre-service teachers from Canada and Hong Kong, respectively, completed an online training module that included research-based information about autism and neurodiversity. Participants completed measures assessing autism knowledge, stigma, and attitudes toward inclusion before and after the training and answered open-ended questions about their perceptions of autistic people and their families. Results showed that, across countries, participation in training was associated with increased autism knowledge, more positive attitudes toward inclusion, and reduced stigma. In both countries, lower autism stigma was associated with higher autism knowledge, more confidence educating autistic people, heightened appreciation of biodiversity, and lower social dominance orientation. Despite having more prior experience educating autistic people, participants in Hong Kong reported higher autism stigma and exhibited lower autism knowledge than their counterparts in Canada. Compared to Canada, participants in Hong Kong exhibited more misconceptions and stereotypes about autism and described community members as treating autistic people and their families with less respect. Understanding educators’ knowledge and attitudes toward autism cross-culturally can inform training needs and approaches that work for specific cultures. • We investigated preservice teachers’ stigma, attitudes, and knowledge toward autistic students across Hong Kong and Canada. • Participation in an online training was related to improved autism knowledge, attitudes, and stigma cross-culturally. • Preservice teachers from Hong Kong reported more misconceptions, stereotypes, and community stigma towards autism. • Cultural factors and local contexts need to be considered in trainings for educators from different cultures.
