The effect of inclusive education practices on primary school 4th grade students achievements in mathematics

The objective of the present research is to examine the effect that inclusive education practices make on the success achieved by 4th grade student's in geometry field of mathematics course, and to determine opinions of students and parents towards inclusive education. In this research, quasi-experimental design was used from quantitative research methods. We interviewed teachers and parents included to the experimental group in order to support quasi-experimental model in the quantitative section and to support quantitative data in the qualitative section. Research sample is comprised of 40 students, who were studying at fourth grade in a state primary school in Hatay Province in the second semester of 2021-2022 academic year. Research was performed in 9 weeks and in 25 course hours in total, i.e. preparation works took 4 weeks in the experimental and control group and experimental procedures took 5 weeks. According to the result of the research, we detected that there is a significant difference in favor of the experimental group in the success rate of students included to the experimental group and control group in terms of math course. It was determined that the significant difference in favor of the experimental group stemmed from inclusive educational activities and also was supported by the opinions of parents and teachers.
