Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This interventional study compares a web-based, self-instructional training program (SEED) to a set of comparison educational materials (Kit for Kids) to see how each affects teachers' skills and views about inclusive education. Public kindergarten and elementary teachers with at least a Level 2 teaching certificate will take part and provide informed consent; teachers who majored in special education are excluded. Outcomes include changes in teachers' knowledge about autism and developmental delays, attitudes toward inclusion, and teaching self-efficacy measured before and after the intervention. The study is run through Ewha Womans University in Seoul and uses the online SEED curriculum delivered to participating teachers.
