Inclusion of students with disabilities in Physical Education. Demonstration of an inclusive system in three distinct levels from the French PE teachers.

The objective of this work is to study, following the law of February 11th 2005, the perceptions and the practices of PE teachers facing professional problems of inclusion of a student with disabilities in their ordinary classes. Considering the complexity of the issue and its relative newness, our research strategy was initially focused on a first exploratory phase.In doing so, a systematic study of the international scientific literature has enabled us to confirm the theoretical framework of our research object. Thereafter, the inductive study of official documents (French) since 1975 on inclusive education and inclusion in PE allowed us to model three theoretical inclusive levels of students with disabilities by PE teachers, i.e : insertion (attendance), intégration (mainstreaming) and scolarisation (inclusion).Following this exploratory phase of written contents, a second series of field studies enabled us to compare our three theoretical levels with the reality of perceptions of PE teachers (questionnaires and interviews) and their actual practices (systematic observations of videotaped sessions). Our results show :- the confirmation of the existence of the three levels concerning perceptions and practices of PE teachers,- The characteristics of each inclusive levels about perceptions and practices of teachers.The cross-analysis of these approaches allowed the proposal of a model of full inclusion in PE. This model confronted to the three inclusive levels highlights the evolutions between inclusive levels (levers, obstacles). The manuscript ends with some perspectives for training for students and PE teachers.
