Development and validation of a questionnaire to evaluate teacher training for inclusion: the CEFI-R

Abstract

In its conclusions on the social dimension of education and training, the Council of the European Union (2010) identified three essential challenges for all the educational systems of the 21st century: (1) social inclusion should, by means of education and training, ensure equal opportunities of access to quality education; (2) it should provide key competences to all students and especially to those who have to deal with educational disadvantages and special needs of support; (3) access to high quality educational opportunities and services should be ensured for all.
