Survey method with an open questionnaire instrument was used to collect the data. There were 83 primary school teachers of inclusive education in Yogyakarta participated in this study. Purposive random sampling was used to determine the participant. The study asked some common questions like age, gender, level of education and experience of working in schools with an inclusive classroom setting.
