In the statistical analysis of the research, frequency values of the data (which were obtained from personal information forms) were surveyed and while analysing the data (obtained from the attitude scale related to inclusion) arithmetic average, standard deviation and t test (for the difference between two groups ) were applied.In statistical analysis and in all parameters numerical difference was seen on the side of the students who took inclusive education class but no statEistically significant difference was found .
