TRAINING AND FOSTERING PRESCHOOL TEACHERS ON INCLUSIVE EDUCATION FOR AUTISTIC CHILDREN IN HO CHI MINH CITY: SEEN FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF TEACHERS AND PRESCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS

Abstract

Inclusive education for autistic children at the preschool level is a need and inevitable trend of society. Therefore, training and fostering teachers on knowledge and skills of inclusive education for children with autism needs to be paid attention to and implemented effectively. Research findings on the current status of training and fostering preschool teachers on inclusive education for autistic children in Ho Chi Minh City show that many teachers have not received in-depth training on inclusive education. There are even teachers who have never participated in any training or fostering courses. The knowledge and skills about inclusive education that teachers have mainly come from self-exploration, learning, researching, and experience. And there are some school administrators who have never received in-depth training on inclusive education
