TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - What do teachers think of death education? JO - Death studies A1 - Rodríguez Herrero, Pablo A1 - de la Herrán Gascón, Agustín A1 - Pérez-Bonet, Gregorio A1 - Sánchez-Huete, Juan Carlos SP - 1518 EP - 1528 VL - 46 IS - 6 N2 - This study sets out to address a gap in research into teachers' attitudes and opinions toward death education. To meet this objective, two complementary instruments were designed and validated: the Death Education Attitudes Scale-Teachers (DEAS-T), which showed suitable psychometric values, and the Death Education Questionnaire-Teachers (DEQ-T). The sample comprised 683 teachers from a range of schools. The results show moderately positive attitudes toward death education. Variables such as gender, age, type of teacher, and religious beliefs all influenced results. The findings argue in favor of the inclusion of death in education and teacher training.
