Latin American Physical Educators' Intention to Teach Individuals With Disabilities.
OBJECTIVE
To analyze Latin American physical education (PE) teachers' intentions toward teaching students with disabilities.


METHODS
474 in-service PE teachers from 5 different Latin American countries.


METHODS
Descriptive survey. Data were collected using a modified version of the Physical Educators' Intention Toward Teaching Individuals With Disabilities Survey. Multiple-regression analysis showed significant differences in the attitudes of teachers by gender, the number of adapted-PE courses taken, and years of experience working with individuals with disabilities.


RESULTS
The predictor variables had a significant impact on the participants' intentions toward teaching children with disabilities; however, the effects of these predictor variables differed between countries.
