The Teachers’ Attitudes towards Inclusive Education (TAIS) scale was designed to measure
pre-service teachers’ attitudes towards inclusion, as defined in the Salamanca Statement of
UNESCO. The 10-item scale was developed using a sample of 185 final-year pre-service
subject teachers. It was validated in four subsequent studies with various samples of teachers
and pre-service teachers. The unidimensionality of the scale was established in all samples
except the first-year students, and its validity was confirmed in psychometric analyses. The
scale is suggested for use in intervention studies aiming to develop positive attitudes towards
inclusion among teachers and pre-service teachers.
