تاثیر برنامه "پی .ال . یو" در تغییر نگرش دختران پایه اول راهنمایی نسبت به دانش آموزان استثنایی

In this study 123 female students selected randomly from guidance schools were divided into control and experimental groups and were then administered an attitude questionnaire. This questionnaire has three parts, the first pan consists of 20 questions that measure general attitude (social desirability and educational status). The second part has 31 adjectives (positive, negative, Pitying) and the subjects are asked to indicate what adjective they use to describe the exceptional students. The third part, consists of questions about prior experiences that the Subjects may have had with exceptional students. Then the experimental group participated in P. L U. (l) Educational Programme for 8 sessions. Following the completion of the programme both the experimental and the control group were again administered the attitude questionnaire. Data were analyzed by analysis of variance with repeated measures. Results showed that at the post-test, the students in the experimental group used more positive statements in describing the exceptional students than the control group. But there were no significant differences in other subtests. Qualitative results showed that students in this course had become more familiar with the exceptional students and this had led to developing a better feeling towards them
