    Author: McEvoy MA, Nordquist VM, Cunningham JL.
    Journal: Am J Ment Defic; 1984 Sep; 89(2):167-73. PubMed ID: 6486180.
    Abstract:
    A three-way design was used to determine whether teachers' judgments about mentally retarded children would be related to characteristics of the children, characteristics of the teacher, and/or characteristics of an integrated free-play setting. Independent variables were integration ratio, area of teacher's specialization, and target child. The dependent variable was teachers' judgments about handicapped children in an integrated setting. Subjects were 15 regular-education teachers and 15 special-education teachers who taught at the primary school level. Judgment ratings by regular-education teachers depended both on the characteristics of the target child and the integration ratio in the free-play activity. Special-education teachers' judgments also were influenced by characteristics of the child observed but not the integration ratio.
