The aim of this study is to determine social studies teachers' views on inclusive education in the context of immigrant students. For this aim, the opinions of 16 social studies teachers who previously had immigrant children in their classrooms were taken. Phenomenology (phenomenology) design, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the study. A data collection tool was prepared in line with expert opinion to obtain the views of the participants by taking into account what inclusive education is and the four dimensions of SWOT analysis: strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and concerns. A descriptive analysis technique was used to analyze the data. As a result of the study, social studies teachers expressed inclusive education as equality of opportunity and individual differences. Regarding the strengths and opportunities offered by inclusive education in the context of migrant children, teachers stated that it offers equal opportunities, takes into account individual differences, and develops social skills.
