Resumo
The inclusion of students with disabilities in higher education has been focused mainly at the distance university. However, this option limits the possibilities of social inclusion of this group of people. This paper discusses the importance of peer attitudes in the inclusion of university students with disabilities in mainstream classrooms at traditional universities. The work is based on a study conducted at the University of A Coruña during 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 courses. More than 500 students where responding to questionnaires on attitudes. The methodology used was based on structural equation models and continues as a guideline the Theory of Planned Behavior, which explains the intention to support the inclusion of college students with disabilities by their peers. This theory focus the intention of included on three latent variables: attitude, social norm and perceived control. Our results underscore the importance of attitude as an essential pillar for a successful integration process. This allows us to conclude the importance of boost and promoting social and educational cross section policies, to improve the generation of positive attitudes to achieve a successful normalized inclusion of students with disabilities, in the context of traditional universities.
