| Abstract: | This study examines the perceptions and beliefs of general education teachers about the inclusion of students with disabilities (SWDs) in regular education classrooms. Using hermeneutic phenomenology as a methodological framework, this qualitative study primarily uses observations and interviews to examine teachers’ perceptions related to inclusive education in Delhi, India. The findings suggest that: (1) Sociocultural ideologies on disability have affected the education of SWDs, and (2) systematic institutional barriers have led teachers to accept inclusion only "in theory". |
