However, the measures adopted by European countries to promote their incorporation are not always accompanied by parallel training actions that provide university professors with the necessary knowledge to incorporate people with intellectual disabilities into the classroom with the same guarantees and opportunities as people without intellectual disabilities.This paper aims to provide specific data on the self-perceived training needs of university teaching staff and thus lay the foundations for a specific training programme. A cross-sectional study was carried out by means of a survey designed to collect the teachers’ perceptions of their own competences and the effectiveness of their knowledge, as well as the importance they attached to some aspects of intellectual disability. The survey was administered to teachers in Serbia, the Netherlands, Portugal, Italy and Spain, with a total sample of 1009 teachers.The results obtained showed that the perception of self-perceived competence in educational skills is dependent on three main factors: previous specific training, teaching experience with people with intellectual disabilities and own personal experiences. The present study demonstrated the concern and need of the teaching staff to obtain specific training on people withintellectual disabilities in higher education. application/pdf eng University of Belgrade - Faculty for Special Education and Rehabilitation, Belgrade Specijalna edukacija i rehabilitacija. 2021, V. 20, n. 1, p. 1-15 DOI: 10.5937/specedreh20-31002 2019-1-ES01-KA203-065823 Atribución 4.0 Internacional http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Higher education People with intellectual disabilities Teacher training Enseñanza superior Educación especial Education, Higher Special education Intellectual disability in higher education: Self-perceived training needs of university teachers info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Specijalna edukacija i rehabilitacija 20 1 1 15
