Thesis (MScSportSc) -- University of Stellenbosch, 2003. / ENGLISH ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study was to determine whether or not inclusion
opportunities would improve the attitudes of children with disabilities and
children without disabilities towards inclusion in physical activities.
A total of 75 pre-and 71 post-test questionnaires were completed. Thirty-nine
pre-test and 37 post-test questionnaires were completed by participants with
disabilities and 36 pre-test and 34 post-test questionnaires were completed by
participants without disabilities.
All participants were pre-tested by means of questionnaires presented to them
prior to each inclusion opportunity and were post-tested by means of
questionnaires presented to them on the day of the inclusion opportunity,
once the event was completed.
All questionnaires were developed by the researcher and have not been used
previously for any other study of this kind.
Results revealed that:
1. Attitudes in both the participants without disabilities and participants with
disabilities changed after attending the inclusion opportunities.
2. There was a reduction in negative attitudes in both participating groups
towards inclusion in physical activities.
3. Participants associated the inclusion opportunities with positive categories
such as enjoyment, friendship and play.
4. There was a positive response to suggestions of participation in future
inclusion opportunities.
Based on the results determined, it was concluded by the researcher that
inclusion opportunities do improve attitudes of children with and children
without disabilities towards participating in inclusive activities, specifically
physical activities. Further research in South Africa should however be
conducted to determine the long-term effects of participation in inclusion
opportunities on children with and without disabilities. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van hierdie studie was om te bepaal of inklusiewe geleenthede die
gesindhede van kinders met gestremdhede en kinders sonder gestremdhede
kon verbeter met betrekking tot die beginsel van inklusiewe onderrig.
'n Totaal van 75 pre- en 71 post-toetse is gevoltooi. Nege en dertig pre-toetse
en 37 post-toetse is deur deelnemers met gestremdhede voltooi en 36 pretoetse
en 34 post-toetse deur deelnamers sonder gestremdhede.
Aile deelnemers is vooraf getoets deur middel van vraelyste wat voltooi is
voor die aanvang van elke geleentheid. Na die voltooing van elke geleentheid
het aile deelnemers weer 'n vraelys voltooi. Die vraelyste is deur die navorser
ontwikkel en is nog nooit voorheen gebruik vir hierdie tipe studie nie.
Resultate van hierdie studie het aangetoon dat:
1. Gesindhede van kinders met gestremdhede en van kinders sonder
gestremdhede het verbeter na deelname in hierdie geleenthede.
2. Daar was 'n vermindering in negatiewe houdings van kinders met
gestremdhede en kinders sonder gestremdhede na insluiting in hierdie
gemeenskaplike aktiwiteite.
3. Deelnemers het hierdie gesamentlike geleenthede geassosieer met
postitiewe ervarings soos genot, speel en nuwe vriendskappe.
4. Daar was positiewe voorstelle van deelname in verderer gesamentlike
geleenthede.
Na aanleiding van hierdie resultate, is dit duidelik dat inklusiewe fisieke
aktiwiteitsgeleenthede die gesindhede van kinders met en kinders sonder
gestremdhede, positief van beinvloed. Verdere navorsing om die langtermyn
effek van inklusiewe geleenthede op Suid-Afrikaanse kinders met en sonder
gestremdhede te bepaal, sal egter steeds nodig wees.
