The goal of inclusive education is to educate students with special needs in regular schools in a social, psychological and academic sense, and to ensure integration with peers. The objective of this study aims to determine the current situation of inclusive education from the perspective of subject teachers’ experiences and competencies. In this research, a descriptive research model has been applied. Research is easily accessible from the sampling method used for sampling. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with 84 subject teachers in the academic year 2014-2015. The content analysis method was used to analyze the data obtained in the study. The findings of the study revealed that without adequate support from experts, subject teachers with inadequate experiences and qualifications are trying to provide education to inclusive students with their own efforts.
