The aim of this study is to examine the effects of education-themed movies on teacher candidates’ sentiments, attitudes and concerns towards inclusive education. Inclusive education is defined as an approach that ensures equal and qualified access to the education process for all students. This study employs a quasi-experimental design with experimental and control groups. The sample consists of 88 teacher candidates studying at a university located in the Marmara region of Türkiye. Data were collected through The Sentiments, Attitudes and Concerns about Inclusive Education Revised (SACIE-R) Scale and analysed using an independent samples t-test. As a result of the study, it was found that education-themed movies had a positive effect on teacher candidates’ sentiments, attitudes and concerns towards inclusive education. In particular, a significant increase was observed in the post-test scores of students in the experimental group. These findings suggest that education-themed movies can be an effective tool for raising awareness and fostering positive attitudes towards inclusive education. However, given the limitations of the study (e.g. selection bias, varied course content), the findings should be interpreted with caution. Future studies may reveal these effects more clearly through more controlled designs.
