5. In another study: A researcher came up with a result that coursework in teaching students with disabilities did not increase their positive attitude or willingness to work with such a students. Our solution: We believe that pre-service teachers need some practical activities or visits to special education schools in order to have clearer idea about this topic.

10. Discussion The aim of this study that the researchers examined the teachers ‘ opinions about teaching students with special needs before and after educating them and the researchers used a survey two times to see the differences between teachers opinion, before and after. The researchers indicated two groups of special educators and future general educators in their research and they found that both of the groups became slightly more receptive to teach the disabilities

11. The researcher found that the most of the teachers were neutral about teaching students with disabilities and this did not correspond with the findings of Kirk (1998). Teacher candidates need more information about collaboration, teaming, and role release. Whenever teachers have more awareness about people with special needs, they will have less concern regarding of the students with special needs in their classes. The researchers found that the introductory course has changed the perceptions of teachers regarding the existence of students with special needs in their classrooms
