Abstract

Inclusive education approach is a new program and procedures which is required for supporting children with disabilities (CwDs) in Indonesia. Utilizing ICT in inclusive classrooms has demonstrated to be helpful both in supporting and strengthening learning process. There are some evidences that prove the use of ICT in the classrooms is essential, particularly impacted the teacher’s attitudes and beliefs. This paper examined the frames of mind on that approach based on semi-organized interview with 40 instructors in 16 schools in Surabaya and questionnaire responses from 100 educators and educational experts across Indonesia. Research findings recommend that teachers have comprehensive and inspirational attitudes for utilizing of ICT in their classrooms.
