ABSTRACT

Secondary inclusive education in Korea has faced challenges due to systematic problems and lack of research in spite of dramatic growth of inclusive education. The purpose of this study is to investigate trends and future directions in research regarding secondary inclusive education by reviewing Korean literature related to secondary inclusive education published for the last 10 years. Based on the criteria suggested in this study, a total of 53 articles were identified. The articles were categorized into four themes including: (1) attitudes of students without disabilities towards students with disabilities and peer relationship, (2) perceptions of teachers and parents on secondary inclusive education, (3) adjustment in secondary inclusive settings from the perspectives of students with disabilities, and (4) instructional methods regarding secondary inclusive education. After analyzing these four themes, each article was analyzed with sub-variables across four themes such as published year, participants, research methods, and settings. Based on the findings of this study, implications for trends and future directions in research regarding secondary inclusive education are provided as follows: (1) investigating perceptions and needs of students with disabilities and their parents on secondary inclusive education, (2) examining effects of supports for teachers based on their needs, (3) research regarding secondary inclusive education in high school level and teaching academic subjects, (4) investigating effects of various programs to promote understanding disability including reversed inclusive education program, and (5) research regarding various issues of secondary inclusive education and instructional methods.
