ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The interpretation of ‘inclusive education’ and what inclusion means has become a contested term. There are a variety of definitions used by different authors since the phenomenon was discussed at the World Conference on Special Needs Education held in Salamanca, Spain in 1994. The Salamanca Statement, which was signed by 92 countries, promotes the idea that schools with an inclusive orientation are ‘the most effective strategy of combating discriminatory attitudes, creating welcoming communities, building an inclusive society and achieving education for all’. This study was part of a larger study that investigated the most recent published research on inclusion in educational contexts in a set of 15 selected well-established English journals. This study employed content analysis and used a qualitative research approach to determine how researchers conceptualise the concepts of ‘inclusion’ and ‘inclusive education’. It does this by exploring the content and method trends in articles published in the International Journal of Inclusive Education between 2016 and 2018. The International Journal of Inclusive Education was chosen because it is a defining journal in this field. Furthermore, it has a very high rate of publishing articles that focus on inclusion and inclusive education as well as being the only peer-reviewed journal that includes the term ‘inclusive education’ in its title. The findings in this study reaffirm that research in inclusive education is still highly focused on inclusion as concerned with disability and special education needs while low priority is attributed to issues of difference and diversity.
