Duchane, K. A. (2007). Attitude toward teaching students with disabilities in physical education. Indiana AHPERD Journal, 36(1), 33-37.
The purpose of the study was to examine the attitude of physical educators toward teaching
students with disabilities included in general physical education classes. Participants were 182
physical education teachers from a midwestern state who taught students at the junior high school
level. Data was collected using the Physical Educators' Attitude Toward Teaching Individuals with
Disabilities. There were no significant differences between male and female teachers in relation to
attitude toward teaching students with disabilities. However, the results indicated that the attitude
toward students with mental retardation and emotional disturbances was less favorable than
teaching students with learning disabilities.
DePlanty, J., Coulter-Kern, R., & Duchane, K. A. (2007). Perceptions of parent involvement in academic achievement. Journal of Educational Research, 100(6), 361-368.
The authors sought to understand the types of parent involvement that teachers, parents, and
students believe affect the academic achievement of adolescent learners at the junior high school
level. Research that included focus groups, interviews, and surveys indicated that teachers and
students believed that parent involvement at school was considered less important to a child's
academic achievement than parent involvement in academics at home. In addition, parents rated
themselves as more participatory in academics than did their children or junior high school teachers.
Duchane, K. A., & French, R. (1998). Attitudes and grading practices of secondary physical educators in regular education settings. Adapted Physical Activity Quarterly, 15(4), 370-380.
Fishbein and Ajzen’s (1975) reasoned action theoretical model was used to examine physical
education teachers’ attitudes toward grading students with disabilities. Participants were 82 male
and 100 female teachers who taught physical education in grades 6-8, representing 119 schools. The
Physical Educators’ Attitude Toward Teaching Individuals with Disabilities (PEATID-III) survey and a
grading practices questionnaire were administered. A three-way ANOVA indicated no significant
differences in grading practices between genders and between teachers with positive and negative
attitudes. However, comparison of grading practices for students with (M = 122.83) and without
disabilities (M = 133.49) revealed significant differences, F(1, 154) = 21.31, p < .001. It was
concluded that criteria for grading students with disabilities are significantly different from those for
nondisabled classmates. Neither attitude nor gender made a significant difference in grading
practices.
