AB  - This paper reports on pre-service teachers' attitudes toward inclusive education, concerns about inclusive education and sentiments toward individuals with disabilities in Chongqing, China. It uses the Sentiments Attitudes and Concerns about Inclusive Education Scale Revised (SCACIE-R), designed by Forlin, Earle, Loreman, & Sharma (2011), with 424 pre-service teachers involved. It was found that variables such as interaction with persons with disabilities and previous training had a significant impact on the participants' attitudes toward inclusive education. The implications for the further improvement of pre-service teacher education programs for inclusive education in China are briefly discussed.
