Abstract

ABSTRACT This article aims to map the scientific production concerning the inclusion of people with disabilities in Science Education to promote a reflection on the production of this area. Bibliometric analysis is used to help understand what stage of research a particular subject is at. Publications on the topic indexed at the Web of Science Core Collection (WoS) were evaluated. A total of 119 articles published between 2009 and July 2019 were selected as dealing specifically with the subject. An increase in the number of articles associating Science teaching (ST) and Inclusive Education (IE) was noted. The journals that published the most, the most productive authors in the area and their collaboration networks were identified. A content analysis of the research was also carried out and the main investigated topics were pointed out. Educational levels, types of disabilities, central themes and specific science areas prevailing in the mapped research were also indicated. We conclude that, despite the growing number of articles, scientific production associating SE and IE is still small, concentrated, and not shared with the scientific community through scientific education journals, and that most research is focused on the use of methodologies and resources, and not on their development.

科学教育中全纳教育的文献计量与描述性分析

摘要本文旨在绘制残疾人科学教育的科学生产图谱，以促进对这一领域生产的反思。文献计量学分析用于帮助理解某一特定主题所处的研究阶段。在Web of Science Core Collection (WoS)索引中对该主题的出版物进行了评估。2009年至2019年7月期间发表的119篇文章被选为专门讨论该主题的文章。注意到，将科学教学(ST)和全纳教育(IE)联系起来的文章数量有所增加。确定了发表论文最多的期刊，该领域最多产的作者及其合作网络。并对研究内容进行了分析，指出了研究的主要课题。还指出了教育水平、残疾类型、中心主题和地图研究中普遍存在的具体科学领域。我们得出的结论是，尽管文章数量不断增加，但与SE和IE相关的科学成果仍然很少，而且集中，没有通过科学教育期刊与科学界分享，而且大多数研究都集中在方法和资源的使用上，而不是它们的发展。

期刊介绍： The central aim of Studies in Science Education is to publish review articles of the highest quality which provide analytical syntheses of research into key topics and issues in science education. In addressing this aim, the Editor and Editorial Advisory Board, are guided by a commitment to: maintaining and developing the highest standards of scholarship associated with the journal; publishing articles from as wide a range of authors as possible, in relation both to professional background and country of origin; publishing articles which serve both to consolidate and reflect upon existing fields of study and to promote new areas for research activity. Studies in Science Education will be of interest to all those involved in science education including: science education researchers, doctoral and masters students; science teachers at elementary, high school and university levels; science education policy makers; science education curriculum developers and text book writers. Articles featured in Studies in Science Education have been made available either following invitation from the Editor or through potential contributors offering pieces. Given the substantial nature of the review articles, the Editor is willing to give informal feedback on the suitability of proposals though all contributions, whether invited or not, are subject to full peer review. A limited number of books of special interest and concern to those involved in science education are normally reviewed in each volume.
