Teachers´ attitude is crucial for promoting inclusive education. Attitude can be defined as an array of perceptions, believes, feelings in favor or against someone or something; in addition, it is understood as ways to react to a specific educational approach that focuses its intention in the achievement of all students. The purpose of this manuscript is to analytically describe central dimensions that impact on the attitude that teachers express towards inclusive education. Factors that are described in this work are teachers´ experience, students´ characteristics, time and resources of support, pre-service and in-service teacher training. Each one of these factors might impact teachers´ attitude, minimizing or facilitating their attempts to generate more inclusive practices. Whereas more factors negatively impact teachers´ pedagogical practices, it will be less likely that their attitude express a positive attitude towards inclusive education. Embracing more inclusive culture, politics and practices means to provide specific support, adjusted resources, and appropriate settings for teachers in order to facilitate their role serving all their students with more effectiveness and high quality.

Palabras clave : Attitude; Teachers; Inclusion.
