The Effect of Internet of Things Implementation on Inclusive Practices in High School

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the application of IoT (internet of Things) for the practice of inclusion in secondary schools (SMA) in Bogor. The research method used was a quasi-experimental research design with a control group design pretest random pretest. The research sample was students of class X A as a control class and class X B as an experimental class in one inclusive secondary school in the city of Bogor with a random sampling technique. The average score of the pretest in the experimental class was lower than the control class. After implementing IoT in the learning process, the experimental class obtained an inclusive practice index higher than the control class. This shows that the application of the internet of things can have a positive impact on the inclusive school learning process.

Critical Factors Influencing Pre-Service Teachers’ Use of the Internet of Things (IoT) in Classrooms

“…This result is supported by related literature emphasizing the pedagogical practices enhanced by integrating IoT technology for teachers. Such practices include increasing engagement and interactions [5], creating a more flexible and efficient learning environment [14], and promoting students' motivation to achieve their learning outcomes [20].…”

“…Integrating the IoT into the realm of education is rapidly increasing and is beneficial in connecting and educating learners [10] [14]. Students can learn faster and teach more efficiently by implementing the IoT in any educational setting [14] [15].…”

“…Integrating the IoT into the realm of education is rapidly increasing and is beneficial in connecting and educating learners [10] [14]. Students can learn faster and teach more efficiently by implementing the IoT in any educational setting [14] [15]. Enabling interaction with learners in a unique and individualized way has been identified as one of the critical benefits of the IoT in education.…”

Using New Technologies and Mobiles for Students with Disabilities to Build a Sustainable Inclusive Learning and Development Ecosystem

“…• "Inastec" (Inclusive Assistive Technology) adaptive technology, based on the Internet of Things (IoT), has been introduced into the educational procedures of the curriculum of Argopuro Jember University of Technology, Indonesia, providing quality education, with positive results in task completion and supporting students with visual and hearing impairments in inclusive environments [26]. IoT refers to global communication networks connecting physical and virtual objects, which are identified through RFID radio frequencies and sensors, integrating modern technology with knowledge and leveraging artificial intelligence perspectives, in the context of inclusive practices, related to the organization of learning and providing the required resources for its implementation [27]. Inastec technology is based on programming languages algorithms and its operation uses the Internet in connection with a hardware system.…”

“…On the other hand, the functional incorporation of new technologies in educational activities lays the foundations for a self-directed way of learning and forms an inclusive framework, which provides strong incentives for experiential learning, which has as a reference point the knowledge and experiences of the students' daily life [27], activating thinking, promoting experimentation (trial-error) and the search for the acquisition of new knowledge and developing decision-making and problem-solving skills [20], [24]. As schools are becoming increasingly open, it is a challenge internationally, for educational policy makers, a more coordinated and participatory effort in the planning and implementation of teacher training programs, as the main contributors to the educational policy of equality, aiming to promote positive attitudes and initiatives for the realization of inclusion and the diffusion of good practices that promote e-accessibility, removing the digital inequality with the cooperation of all education professionals.…”
