In recent years, there has been an increase in new technologies and their effects in many sectors of life. The importance of IoT in special education and training acquires more and more value over time. Collaboration between technology and educational specialties involved in the educational teaching of individuals is the key to students’ holistic evolution and development. The purpose of this article is to highlight the impact of IoT on the education and health promotion of students in special schools as well as children and adolescents with motor and mental disabilities. The techniques and approaches as a product of therapies and teachings have as their main axis the rehabilitation and functionality of the students and as a consequence of them the most complete awareness and cultivation of their positive emotions with the completion of the IoT intervention programs with the help of sensors that exist in smart devices. The findings highlighted through this article revealed cases of children and adolescents with special needs who benefited from the IoT programs to be reported. The following applications and their analysis led to the conclusion that the dynamic presence of these special interventions in various forms can be administered and improve the functionality & mental health of people with educational needs, a result that was expected by the research team making this research effort.
This article is aimed at teachers, parents, caregivers, and everyone interested in special education and the autism spectrum. The purpose is to present the usefulness of technological applications in special education and specifically refers to the usefulness of Internet of Things applications in Autism disorder. Digital technologies have come actively into everyday life to provide solutions even in a complex fields such as special education. Technology and the internet of things promise to people who belong to the autism spectrum but also to their parents’ solutions that aim at their integration into society. Smart devices save time, data, and several treatments. The Autism Spectrum Disorder, the IoT technology in the field of Medicine - IoT, the IoT applications with the help of artificial intelligence, and the skills acquired by people with autism because of these technological innovations are some of the fields that will be analyzed.
This article focuses on how people with disabilities can benefit from new technologies and in particular assistive technology and Internet of Things Applications. Assistive Technology is now an integral part of modern education and even more in the field of special education, as it can prove to be a powerful tool to support educational integration. Through smart devices and artificial intelligence, an attempt is made to recognize emotions and the level of arousal, through sensors, restoring it to a normal basis, and giving continuous emotional feedback. This paper refers to parents, caregivers, and people with ADHD and it gives solutions that improve their daily lives with the help of applications created for smart devices.
The purpose of this research analysis is to identify the contribution of online applications to the integration of autistic individuals in typical educational contexts. The difficulties faced by both autistic people and teachers are analyzed. These difficulties are calls to improve the technology that has been introduced into the daily life of children and adults with autism. As people are becoming familiar with technology by a very young age, inexpensive applications can be used through devices such as mobiles/tablets. These applications have the power to strengthen areas in which autistic individuals fall behind. The research articles we have studied present data over the last decade, and their results are applicable to a large portion of the autistic population. Data highlighted in current analysis may be useful for improving web applications targeting autistic individuals and their families.
The purpose of the article is to highlight how students' computational thinking, which is a critical thinking skill, can be developed through educational robotics and programming. It is a fun and engaging learning activity that encourages students to collaborate, delve into a problem, construct knowledge, and cultivate critical thinking. Educational robotics is therefore an innovative teaching tool, which contributes to the implementation of the above goal and follows the principles of building, specifically the construction of knowledge (Mikropoulos & Bellou, 2010). It develops students' critical thinking, strengthens their mental models, and activates known learning mechanisms leading them to a deeper level of understanding and assimilation of knowledge, which cannot be accomplished with traditional teaching methodologies. It has also been proven to be able to help students solve complex problems as well as contribute to the development of computational thinking skills (Atmatzidou & Demetriadis, 2014), which should characterize the entire literate population and complement the other three basic reading skills, writing, and mathematics (Mavroudis, Petrou & Fesakis, 2014).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
