Professional representations of physical education teachers towards inclusion of students with disabilities
The objective of this work is to systematically identify and qualitatively analyze all international studies (French and English) published between 1975 and 2015, relating to professional representations of physical education teachers towards inclusion of students with disabilities. Thirty-five studies were selected and divided into three themes associated with representations of teachers as barriers to inclusion: 1) the inadequacy between inclusive policies and physical education programs, 2) the difficult collaboration between teachers and the partners of inclusion, and 3) the inadequacy of the initial and continual training of teachers in adapted physical education. A repercussion of this work is to propose training perspectives for physical education teachers to overcome these barriers.
