Abstract

This article aimed to map and summarize the scientific evidence on the attitudes of basic education teachers towards inclusive education. The review followed the recommendations of PRISMA-ScR and searches were conducted in the SciELO, PePSIC, PsycInfo, ERIC and Web of Science databases, as well as Portuguese dissertation and thesis banks. Eighteen studies published in Portuguese and English between 2013 and 2023 were included. In the studies analyzed, a predominance of positive attitudes was identified, followed by favorable, ambivalent and negative attitudes. The results showed that factors such as qualification, professional experience and working conditions can influence teachers’ attitudes towards inclusive education. It is concluded that it is necessary to explore how these factors, including new ones that may arise contextually, affect their attitudes towards school inclusion.
