Abstract

ABSTRACT

The objective of this study was to evaluate the changes produced in attitudes towards disability in 43 students in 5th grade of primary education through a simulation program in Physical Education. A questionnaire was used both before and after the intervention. Results showed an improvement in attitudes in 2 of the 3 dimensions studied in the questionnaire by both boys and girls, being this change statistically significant only in 1 of the dimensions in boys. All these results match some studies, but differ from others, becoming necessary the existence of a bigger number of this kind of studies in order to prove widely the efficacy of this interventions.
