Abstract

Inclusive education is a new educational trend and its development is being refined in countries worldwide. This study provided a systematic review of the factors that influence the teaching practices of in-service teachers in inclusive education. This study was analyzed using a PRISMA-based systematic analysis approach by searching two databases, Web of Science and Scopus, for relevant literature from 2014 to 2023. Twenty-seven articles were finally selected for inclusion in the study. The results showed that factors influencing the teaching practices of in-service teachers in inclusive education include teachers’ self-efficacy, teachers’ attitudes and teachers’ teaching strategies. Also, the existing literature has revealed a need for more training for teachers in inclusive education. To sum up, it is believed that there is more room to improve the professional development of in-service teachers in inclusive education.
