Far from Expectation: A Systematic Literature Review of Inclusive Education in Indonesia

The purpose of this Systematic Literature
Review (SLR) is to identify: (a) research topics, (b)
research methods used, and (c) research results on
inclusive education in Indonesia. This study was an SLR
using the PRISMA model by identifying various
appropriate and relevant literature. The PRISMA model
adopted in this study contains four stages: identification,
screening, eligibility, and inclusion. Data search was
carried out using criteria determined by researchers from
various search engines such as Google Scholar, ERIC,
Scopus, Researchgate, and others, which resulted in 9
articles for further analysis. Furthermore, the data were
analyzed using a qualitative approach in describing the
research findings. The results showed that three main
research themes have been found, namely the
implementation of inclusive education, teaching &
learning in inclusive classrooms, and the inclusive
education curriculum. Outline, the analysis results of these
articles stated that the implementation of inclusive
education in Indonesia is still not as expected. These
findings are expected to become the basis for teachers,
education observers, and education policymakers, both
local and central government or the Ministry of Education
to implement education policies that support the progress
of inclusive education in Indonesia.
