This study assessed the perceived teachers’ competence and benefits of inclusion to learners. There were 63 teachers who answered the survey questionnaires that assessed their perceived competence and benefits of inclusive education. They were identified using cluster sampling. The data gathered were treated using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results revealed that majority of them were in the age range of 33-42 years, had finished their master’s degree with specialisation not related to special education and had served in their school for 8-16 years. They perceived themselves to be highly competent and stated that inclusive education is highly beneficial for learners with and without special education needs. Moreover, their perceived competence is significantly related to the benefits of inclusive education for learners with and without special needs. Hence, school administrators need to validate the teachers’ perceived competence in handling inclusive classes and create programmes geared towards an enhanced inclusive education implementation.

The Internet of Things, often known as IoT, is a project whose ultimate objective is to construct, in the not-too-distant future, a global network of linked, networked goods and things that are capable of exchanging data and working together. Through the use of the internet, it will be possible to read, recognise, localise, address, and otherwise control such things. Before widespread usage of the Internet of Things (IoT), consumers and business owners need to have trust in its underlying security architecture. It is essential to provide an explanation of how different devices connected to the Internet of Things may safely and effectively share data with one another and with remote computers. When designing security solutions, new privacy and security issues brought about by the Internet of Things need to be taken into consideration throughout the design process. Establishing trustworthy end-to-end encrypted connections is difficult due to the inherent heterogeneity of Internet of Things (IoT) communications and the vast range of hardware and software capabilities supported by IoT devices. Because of their slow processing rates, high power consumption, and little quantities of memory, the majority of Internet of Things devices have few security choices available. This is as a result of the fact that many traditional security approaches are unable to be deployed on devices that have restricted resources. This article presents an overview of the many uses of the Internet of Things, together with the security threats and operational challenges that each presents.
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.
