Resumo

The study aims to adapt and validate a Portuguese from Brazilian version for the Physical Educators' Attitudes Toward Teaching Individuals with Disabilities-III (PEATID-III) and assess its psychometric properties. Seventy six teachers from Physical Education undergraduate courses from six Higher Education institutions from Alagoas State, Brazil, were used. The psychometric properties were analyzed based on the r product moment Pearson´s (test-retest), the Cronbach's Alpha coefficients and the exploratory factor analysis values (with Varimax rotation). The results revealed an overall structure with two factors that explain 55.28% of the total variance. It was concluded that the version of validation can be used in university teachers of physical education courses in Brazil.
