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.

摘要

本文旨在绘制有关将残疾人纳入科学教育的科学生产图，以促进对该领域生产的反思。文献计量分析用于帮助了解特定主题处于哪个研究阶段。对在 Web of Science 核心合集 (WoS) 中编入索引的主题的出版物进行了评估。2009 年至 2019 年 7 月期间发表的总共 119 篇文章被选为专门针对该主题的文章。注意到与科学教学 (ST) 和全纳教育 (IE) 相关的文章数量有所增加。确定了该领域发表最多、最具生产力的作者及其合作网络的期刊。对研究内容进行了分析，指出了主要研究课题。教育水平，还指出了地图研究中普遍存在的残疾类型、中心主题和特定科学领域。我们得出的结论是，尽管文章数量不断增加，但将 SE 和 IE 相关联的科学生产仍然很小、集中，并且没有通过科学教育期刊与科学界共享，并且大多数研究都集中在方法和资源的使用上，并且不谈他们的发展。
