Impact of a model-based paralympic sports project in physical education on primary school pupils’ attitudes, self-efficacy, and intentions toward inclusion of peers with physical disabilities

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Purpose Decreased involvement in physical education (PE) among children with disabilities can result from negative attitudes toward peers with impairment. School-based paralympic sports programs may improve students' views about people with disabilities. The present study aimed to determine whether a model-based paralympic sports project in PE would have a favourable impact on primary school students' attitudes, self-efficacy, and intentions toward including peers with physical disabilities in PE, ultimately improving their prosocial behaviour, while considering their previous experience with disability, according to the theory of planned behaviour.
