Abstract
The attitude of future teachers towards diversity and inclusive education is a key aspect for the promotion of an inclusive school that guarantees learning opportunities for all students. The objectives of this study were to describe the attitudes, sentiments and concerns towards inclusive education of future teachers based on gender and type of institution and to examine whether there are significant differences based on sociodemographic variables (gender and type of institution) and the instrument considered. For this, 632 university students from the 2nd year of the Primary Education Degree participated. An ad-hoc questionnaire was used to establish the sociodemographic variables and the Revised Scale of Sentiments, Attitudes and Concerns about Inclusive Education. The results obtained showed that, depending on the type of institution, there are significant differences around the three analysis variables. However, in relation to sex, differences have only been found for the sentiments variable. These results, although not conclusive, can be taken as a reference to design training actions that raise awareness among future teachers and offer them the necessary tools to promote and develop quality inclusive practices.
