Practitioners’ Attitudes and Perceptions Toward the Use of Augmented and Virtual Reality Technologies in the Education of Students With Disabilities

Abstract

This study surveyed school professionals about their perceptions and attitudes toward using AR and VR in their work with children with disabilities. Survey data were collected from 257 participants in 45 states across the United States and from the Philippines. The findings indicated that very few practitioners used AR ( n = 26) or VR ( n = 19) in their practices, with nine participants using both AR and VR. Most of the participants who used AR or VR received training or had knowledge of how to use the technology and had technical support available. Similarly, the majority of the participants who did not use AR or VR reported a lack of training or knowledge of how to use the technology and a lack of financial resources. Participants who reported using AR were significantly younger than those who reported that they did not use AR, but there were no other significant differences between the groups.

Application of Computer Vision and Sensor Technology in Multivariate Assessment of Ecological Environment Carrying Capacity

“…Build a threedimensional urban model and urban basic information platform and establish a professional application rule base, model base, and corresponding application system suitable for different functional departments. On this basis, develop a computer application system for governments at all levels to comprehensively manage cities and make macro decisions and use digital technology for ecological planning, changing the concept of planning [12]. Mai and others proposed the Yellow River Basin water based on the spatial data collection, editing, management, analysis, and mapping system, which directly provides the government departments with the query of the background data of the ecological environment and reflects the change trend and law of the ecological environment [13].…”

Analysis of Digital Leadership in School Management and Accessibility of Animation-Designed Game-Based Learning for Sustainability of Education for Children with Special Needs

“…The study of [23] underlines how animations enhance the skills development of children, especially creativity. In addition to this, [24] enlighten the use of technology in special education. In their study, it is revealed that school professionals pay attention to AR or VR to extend their knowledge in order to facilitate education for all.…”

“…Putting emphasis on the merits of technology is crucial to fostering the quality of education for all. In this respect, recent studies have been conducted to technology-enhanced instruction in special education [23][24][25]. Studies underline the importance of assistive technologies and animations in special education.…”
