Abstract

This paper presents the results of a study that compared gains in knowledge, skills and dispositions of candidates in introductory special education classes presented in traditional and online formats. Gain scores from pretests and posttests of course content and attitudes toward inclusion, and rubric scores from three performance products were used to assess and compare the effectiveness of the course. The issues surrounding online instruction and the implications of the results for teacher preparation programs are discussed.
