The approach of this study was quantitative, and sample extraction is carried out through the stages sampling method. For the data collection, it was used a Likert scale with a Cronbach’s coefficient alpha reported 0.86. The dimension of this research,“Teachers’ perceptions as regards the socialization of children with SEN with peers” consists of three factors, respectively (1)“Teacher perceptions as regards the adaption of children with SEN to the group of peers”, (2)“Teachers’ perceptions as regards the participation of children with SEN in managing the situation”,(3)“Teachers’ perceptions as regards the social participation of children with SEN with their peers”. The results of the“Mann-Whitney U Test” revealed significant differences in the perception of trained and untrained teachers, as regards the three factors of the study.  \nKeywords: teacher’s training, children with SEN, inclusive classes  \nIntroduction  \nDuring the last 15 years, the education system in Albania was challenged by the need to provide inclusive education for every child, especially for children with disabilities (CWD) and those with special educational needs (SEN) in mainstream schools. Following the ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in 2012, as well as based on the guidelines of the European Community and of the documents published by reputable organizations such as UNESCO, UNICEF, and ODIR, the first step undertaken was to align the legal and policy framework with the International Conventions, to provide access and quality inclusive education for these children in mainstream schools, so they are no longer segregated in special schools. In addition, the mainstream school staff in cooperation with the school community and local education’ decision-makers, have been investing in serious efforts to improve access, culture, practices, and policies, in mainstream kindergartens and basic education schools, where CWD or SEN children are enrolled, to welcome these children and support them to reach their best potential.  \n∗Associate Professor, Pedagogy-Psychology Department, Social Sciences Faculty, Tirana University, Albania.  \n±Researcher, Tirana University, Albania.  \nIn this light, one of the most important challenges remains teacher training and teacher professional development (PD) in the issues that are related directly to the socialization of these children in mainstream classrooms. Although studies have been conducted in this area, it remains necessary to study specific aspects of this issue. During the research work for the writing of this article, not enough studies were found in this field to support the results obtained from this study. For this reason, the results obtained from this study are a very valuable contribution that would help to clarify the main milestones on which training curricula, for the PD, should be built. By the same token, from this PD, teachers can gain knowledge and practical skills in the field of inclusiveness, which will serve them to increase the quality of classroom work for all students.  \nThis paper is extracted from wider research, carried out in basic education schools in Albania, which aims to identify if there were any differences between the perceptions of teachers who received training in the last five years in the field of inclusiveness, compared to the group of teachers who did not receive training, in terms of the level of participation of SEN children in-class activities, as ","cbCaiv7YiY28moEe","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiv7YiY28moEe","pdf",167389,14,"English","# Keywords\n# Introduction\n# Review of Literature and Research Papers\n## The Importance and Effectiveness of Inclusive Education","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the study on teacher training?\",\"answer\":\"To highlight the importance of teacher training regarding inclusiveness and to examine how it relates to the socialization of SEN children with their class peers in inclusive mainstream classrooms.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the research data collected and measured?\",\"answer\":\"The study uses a quantitative design with sampling stages and collects data through a Likert scale.
