Components/indicators of Attitudes toward Inclusion of Students with Physical Disabilities in Pe in the Atipdpe Instrument/scale for Prospective Czech Physical Educators

The purpose of the study was to examine the structure of the attitudinal scale of the ATIPDPE, an instrument based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) of Ajzen (2000). Participants were 145 prospective physical educators (70 females & 75 males), of an average age of 21.19 years, enrolled in three physical education teacher preparation programs in the Czech Republic. Based on analysis, the attitudinal scale of ATIPDPE measures III psychological properties (components). Three components, drawn from principal component analysis, explain more than 65 % of the variance. These three components are: a) positive outcomes/results for students, b) negative outcomes for teachers, and c) negative outcomes for students.
