Become a teacher of support and prosocial behavior


Abstract:

What motivates an individual to dedicate themselves to the inclusion of pupils with disabilities? The answer may lie in the level of prosociality that an individual possesses, since prosocial behaviors, for both evolutionary and learning theories, are understood as acts that generate benefits for others, without direct benefit for those who adopt them. It is at the intersection of commitment to the inclusion of pupils with disabilities and prosocial behaviour that the exploratory study is located, which aims to present the results of the survey of the levels of prosociality of teachers engaged in training for the achievement of the specialization for teaching support activities for pupils with disabilities of the VIII Cycle of the University of Florence.
