“…“Data triangulation” was used to verify the research validity [ 75 ]. In this respect, the results were compared with the four school managers’ opinions and the results of other similar studies about the use of VR presented in relevant literature [ 20 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 ].…”

Inclusive education represents one of the most challenging aspects of modern education. In recent years, a major challenge in achieving inclusivity in education has been to find modern tools that might adapt the teaching process to the needs of children with disabilities. This article investigates the possibility to use virtual reality (VR) technology to improve the learning process of children with disabilities. In this regard, a qualitative study based on the Focus Group method was conducted among 31 specialists who work with children with disabilities, with the aim of identifying potential opportunities and limits of using VR technology in the education of this category of children. The research results reveal that for most of the interviewees the VR application was a new experience; they appreciated that this technology could improve the educational process for children with disabilities and it could become a useful tool to support the education of such children. These results could have a positive impact on the activities carried out by policymakers, academia, and the economic environment in their efforts to implement policies aimed at improving the inclusive education system. To this end, some VR applications could be developed in a collaborative system involving IT companies and universities in the designing and implementation of these applications.

“…La mayoría de estos programas de intervención incluyen, además de la evaluación directa de los resultados reflejados por los alumnos, la opinión de los maestros o investigadores que realizaron la capacitación, pero sólo algunos incluyeron la evaluación de los padres. Entre http://www.eticanet.org 21 los 15 artículos analizados, se destacan los siguientes para la realización de una evaluación con múltiples informantes: Cihak et al (2010), Kagohara et al (2012), Browder et al (2017), Martínez et al (2017), Romero et al (2017), Daniels et al (2018), Kärnä et al (2018) y Parsons et al (2018.…”

En los últimos años, las tecnologías se han propagado muy fácilmente en todos los contextos sociales, dando como resultado cambios significativos en el estilo de vida de cada individuo. En este proceso de cambio tecnológico, ningún ámbito es ajeno, mucho menos el sistema escolar y esto tiene consecuencias para los estudiantes con discapacidad. Por lo tanto, gracias al apoyo tecnológico, hoy los estudiantes con necesidades educativas especiales tienen más oportunidades para la inclusión social en la escuela. Este trabajo se basa en una revisión crítica de la literatura científica, publicada en la última década, sobre el tema del uso de la tecnología en estudiantes con trastorno del espectro autista que asisten a la escuela preescolar o a la escuela primaria. Los resultados muestran que en las intervenciones dirigidas a estudiantes con autismo, el uso de tecnologías proporciona un entorno propicio para el aprendizaje y el desarrollo de habilidades interpersonales. A partir del análisis de estos 15 estudios, es posible establecer pautas para el diseño de intervenciones que se adapten a las necesidades de esta población, con ciertas garantías de éxito.
