This study examined inclusion readiness among Indonesian pre-service science teachers using an Attitudes, Knowledge, and Practices (AKP)-informed framework within a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design. Survey data from 376 participants across 14 universities were analysed using MANOVA and PLS-SEM. During measurement model evaluation, the attitude and practice constructs lacked discriminant validity and were therefore combined into a single construct labelled inclusive orientation, representing pre-service teachers’ affective commitment and perceived readiness to implement inclusive science teaching. Structural model results indicated that conceptual knowledge of inclusive pedagogy was positively associated with inclusive orientation, while teaching experience contributed modestly to knowledge development. Qualitative findings indicated that support for inclusion was conditional on mentoring and resources, and that inclusion was often understood as physical accessibility rather than differentiated participation in science learning. The study identifies a persistent AKP gap in which inclusion readiness reflects affective commitment more strongly than developed pedagogical competence.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Research article </style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">366-381</style></section></record></records></xml>
