- Description
- Australian special education literature from 2005 to 2015 was analysed to identify trends in topics and issues. A content analysis revealed a strong focus on inclusive teaching practice and education, and a growing interest in addressing behavioural and emotional disabilities, and teaching social skills in regular classrooms. The findings suggest that inclusive education principles and practices have become a major focus in ‘special’ education research. While disability specific issues remained topical, there was an increasing interest in the complex socio-cultural contexts of schools and classrooms, and supporting students with additional needs within inclusive environments. Recommendations for further research are provided.
