O knihe

Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2023 in the subject Pedagogy - Orthopaedagogy and Special Education, , course: Special Education, language: English, abstract: The problem addressed by this study was the perspectives of special education teachers regarding integrating technology into the special education curriculum. The purpose of this qualitative study was to discover what lived experiences in school districts special education teachers have on integrating technology into the special education curriculum. Students with learning disabilities are a growing population across many school districts. As a result, the need for support services such as integrating computers into the curriculum to increase students¿ academic performance is paramount. The theoretical framework of this study was based on Vygotsky¿s constructivism theory to understand human experiences through a phenomenon. The constructivism theory allows teachers to help students build their knowledge while integrating technology into the curriculum. This study used a semi-structured questionnaire and a 30-45 minutes time frame. The sample of twelve special education teachers from one county on the east coast completed an online questionnaire to share their experiences.
