Research highlights that students with disabilities have mixed feelings about their inclusion experiences in physical education. Physical education teachers often do not feel prepared to appropriately support all students. In German-speaking countries in particular, there is a strong tradition of segregation, with varying interpretations of inclusion. In this light, an instrument to reliably assess the inclusive potential of physical education is needed, thereby providing data on the efficacy of teachers\u2019 practices. Such an assessment scale would be important to identify barriers to inclusive physical education while providing teachers with data that could potentially enhance the learning environment. The purpose of this study was to outline initial insights into the cross-cultural translation process of the Lieberman\/Brian Inclusion Rating Scale for PE in German-speaking countries. The translation process followed suggestions for transcultural validation. Expert review was provided to check content and face validity. Major item challenges centered around paraeducators, gym management, and conceptual differences regarding physical education.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph19137891","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,27]],"date-time":"2022-06-27T22:31:14Z","timestamp":1656369074000},"page":"7891","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Cross-Cultural Translation and Application of the Lieberman\u2013Brian Inclusion Rating Scale for PE in German-Speaking Countries"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5621-9429","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Martin","family":"Giese","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Natural and Human Sciences, Heidelberg University of Education, 69120 Heidelberg, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michelle","family":"Grenier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Kinesiology, University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH 03824, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5393-104X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lauren J.","family":"Lieberman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Kinesiology, Sport Studies and Physical Education, College at Brockport, The State University of New York, Brockport, NY 14420, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1929-9036","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stefan","family":"Meier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Sport Science and University Sports, University of Vienna, 1150 Vienna, Austria"},{"name":"Centre for Teacher Education, University of Vienna, 1090 Vienna, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"United Nations (2022, June 24).
