AB  - Physical activity is a natural and important part of the life of children, including children with various types of disability. The personality of the educator plays an important role in promoting the inclusion of the student with special educational needs (or disability) to the physical activities realized in general school education programs. Knowledge, skills and competences of teachers belong to the limiting factors for the extent and effectiveness of inclusion. The aim of the pilot enquiry is to realize a monitoring and analysis of the views of the students of Palacký University, Olomouc of teacher training for elementary school on the concept, content, and the inclusion of a new course focused on the basics of adapted physical activity (APA), in the education system in the area of physical education for the scope. This teaching was conceived and realized by the Faculty of Physical Culture in the project Preparation for Physical Education of Persons with Disabilities, CZ. 1.07/2.2.00/15.0336. Data were collected through a poll where students have expressed their views through a ten items scale. The data has been processed by the frequency prevalence of responses and percentage-terms it. Comparison of views of students was made among students of full-time forms and the part-time (combined) form of studies. From the results a request for sustainable reintegration of the study program is obvious. The students are aware of the need to deepen the knowledge of this area. The students of the part-time form of studies support a bigger range of instruction in the field of adapted physical activity within the undergraduate teacher preparation teacher of elementary school.
