abstract = {Inclusive education is a right and must be offered to all students, including those with
disabilities, providing them with individualized educational attention and support. Teachers play
a leading role in the inclusive education process, their preparation and attitudes being essential
for this process. This study aimed to present the factor structure and reliability of a questionnaire
for the assessment of teachers’ perceptions about their preparation to support inclusive education.
The sample consisted of 605 Spanish primary school teachers who responded to the Evaluation
of Teachers’ Inclusion Readiness (CEFI-R) Questionnaire. Exploratory and confirmatory factor
analysis and reliability evaluation were performed. The results showed a factor structure with
four dimensions (Conception of Diversity, Methodology, Supports and Community Participation),
composed of 17 items, with good and excellent goodness-of-fit values and high reliability (Cronbach’s
Alpha = 0.75–0.94). Thus, the CEFI-R can be considered a quick and easy-to-apply tool to analyze
primary school teachers’ perceptions about their preparation to address their students’ diversity of
needs, allowing stakeholders to take actions to promote inclusive education},
