ENGLISH SUMMARY : The fields of Community Psychology and Inclusive Education in Educational Psychology share many common values such as empowerment, social justice and inclusion. The concept of inclusion, central to both fields, in education refers to the idea that all children, regardless of ability or background, should be afforded the same type of educational experience. However, the definition of inclusion in the context of Inclusive Education appears to differ from one country to the next. These differences in the interpretation of what inclusion and inclusive education entail, in addition to the differences between admirable policy but poor implementation of policy, is what motivated this research. The study aimed to explore if and how the concept of inclusion reflects in the literature by focusing on specific journals in Educational Psychology. Content analysis of abstracts in articles published, between 2013 and 2017, by three journals (School Psychology Review, School Psychology International and the International Journal of Educational Psychology) was used to explore how different scholars use the concept of “inclusion’ and “inclusive education” and to what extent research reflects and informs practice. A total of 368 articles were published in the targeted journals during this period and only two articles contained the targeted key words in their abstracts. On further reading of these articles, one article discussed inclusion as denoting the treatment of immigrants in schools and the other explored the concept of “inclusive education” in pedagogy. The implications of finding few articles on inclusion in these journals are discussed in terms of the discrepancy between valuing inclusion in the field of Community Educational Psychology and what is actually reflected in the context of knowledge production.
