As noted in Chapter 36, children with disabilities have varied experiences in inclusive physical education (PE) settings. The purpose of this chapter is to review the research on inclusive PE teachers and other educators in supporting roles. A fairly robust finding in the adapted PE literature is that many teachers have minimal to zero education in adapted PE and minimal experience teaching adapted PE. As a result, teachers often lack teacher efficacy and feel ill-prepared to teach children with disabilities. Despite teachers’ lack of experience and confidence, many still have positive attitudes toward teaching children with disabilities, although their attitudes are often linked to their perceived competence. Research on support personnel, such as peer tutors, teacher’s aides, and adapted PE specialists, indicates that they have the potential to enrich experiences of children with disabilities. However, their lack of training and challenges compromises their ability to deliver quality adapted PE. Teachers face many significant and daunting challenges to providing children with disabilities quality PE experiences.

This study aimed to examine the relationship between commitment to teaching, teacher efficacy, physical education teachers' marginalisation and isolation. Four hundred and eight physical education and sports teachers voluntarily participated in the study. Klein et al.’s Unidimensional Target-Free  Commitment Scale was used to assess physical education teachers' commitment to teaching by designing the items to measure commitment to teaching. Perceptions of marginalisation and isolation were evaluated by using the Physical Education-Marginalisation and Isolation Scale. The Ohio Teacher Efficacy Scale was used to determine the level of efficacy beliefs. According to the results, teachers' efficacy positively predicted commitment to teaching, while a high correlation was found between these factors. Teachers' efficacy and commitment to teaching are negatively associated with marginalisation and isolation. Consequently, this study revealed that teachers having a sense of efficacy become more committed to teaching. Correspondingly, this will result in a reduction in marginalisation and isolation.   Keywords: Teacher, efficacy, marginalisation, isolation, commitment.

<p class="resumoabstract">Acidentes e fatalidades podem acontecer desde simples contusões até as mais urgentes hemorragias e parada cardiorrespiratória. Os primeiros socorros realizados de forma adequada podem minimizar os agravos e até mesmo salvar vidas. No âmbito escolar, situações de emergência fazem parte do cotidiano e é essencial que Professores de Educação Física tenham um conhecimento básico para atender as necessidades escolares. O presente estudo teve como objetivo verificar o conhecimento dos Professores de Educação Física (EF) da rede pública de Ensino da Cidade de Santa Cecilia-SC com relação aos Primeiros Socorros (PS). Caracterizou-se em natureza descritiva, transversal, com análise quanti-qualitativa dos dados. Participaram do estudo 11 Professores de EF. Para a coleta de dados, foi desenvolvido um questionário abordando aspectos conceituais, procedimentos e atitudes referentes ao cotidiano profissional. Do total, apenas um professor não teve a disciplina de PS na graduação. Os professores na sua minoria se sentem aptos a prestar os PS e inclusive assumir as situações, demonstrando conhecimento satisfatório na teoria, mas na prática sentem-se inseguros para agir diante de situações mais graves. Destaca-se que mais de 80% sabem como agir em atendimentos menos agravantes. Já nas situações de parada cardiorrespiratória (RCP) e hemorragias, os mesmos relataram que necessitam de um treinamento mais atualizado. Em crianças principalmente eles não sentem muito seguros em prover o auxílio. Foi possível concluir que os professores de EF apresentaram um nível de conhecimento satisfatório na teoria, mas sugerem atualizações periódicas em forma de cursos.</p><p class="resumoabstract"><strong>Palavras-chave</strong>: Primeiros Socorros.

First aid performed properly can minimize the aggravations and even save lives. In the school context, emergency situations are part of the daily life and it is essential that Physical Education Teachers have a basic knowledge to carry out the school needs. This study verified the Physical Education (PE) Teachers knowledge from Santa Cecilia-SC public teaching related to first aid. It featured in descriptive nature, transversal, with quantitative and qualitative analysis of the data. Eleven PE teachers participated of the study. For the data collection, it was developed a questionnaire addressing conceptual aspects, procedures and attitudes concerning professional daily life. From the total, only one teacher did not have the first aid subject at the college. Teachers in their minority feel able to provide the first aid and even take on the situations, showing satisfactory theory knowledge, however in real life they feel insecure to act on before serious situations. It points out that more than 80% know how to act before less aggravating calls. Nonetheless, during cardiopulmonary arrest (CPR) and hemorrhages, they reported the need of an updated training. Mainly in children, they do not feel safe to provide the aid. It was possible to conclude that Physical Education Teachers showed a satisfactory level of knowledge in theory, however it suggest courses periodic updates.</p><p class="resumoabstract"><strong>Keywords</strong>: First Aid.
