        abstract = {This paper compares special and general teacher education programs, highlighting their differences, similarities, and implications for inclusive education. A comprehensive review of literature and research findings informs the analysis, focusing on teacher preparation, instructional strategies, and student outcomes. The paper concludes with recommendations for teacher education programs to promote inclusive education. This study explores the differences and similarities between Special Teacher Education Programs and General Teacher Education Programs. Special Teacher Education Programs focus on preparing teachers to work with students with specific needs, emphasizing specialized knowledge and adapted instructional strategies. General Teacher Education Programs, on the other hand, prepare teachers to work with diverse student populations, focusing on foundational knowledge and diverse instructional strategies. Understanding the distinctions between these programs is essential for informing teacher preparation and supporting inclusive education practices. This study highlights the importance of both program types in equipping teachers with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to support student learning. The findings suggest that integrating elements of both programs can enhance teacher preparation and promote more effective teaching practices. The study contributes to the ongoing discussion on teacher education and its impact on student outcomes, emphasizing the need for comprehensive and inclusive approaches to teacher preparation.},
