Reflection of the Technology for Inclusion and Participation for All: Recent Achievements and Future Directions (AAATE) confernce

by Dr. Nardie Fanchamps (retired)

The COTEDI [AAATE Cyprus presentation Larissa Van der Leek.pdf](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/22760793/AAATE.Cyprus.presentation.Larissa.Van.der.Leek.pdf) educational session explores the potential of emerging technologies to promote inclusion and participation in education. Using the World Café methodology, the session invites educators, technologists, researchers, and policymakers to engage in collaborative dialogue around three key questions: Which educational technologies hold promise for promoting inclusion and participation? What are opportunities and good practices? Which barriers and facilitators affect the implementation of educational technologies in the school context? Which strategies may foster a successful implementation of educational technology into educational contexts? Read more

Foster psycholigcal development through computational thinking and technical learning environments

by Dr. Nardie Fanchamps (retired)

Many children in special education show impairments in their psychological and socio-pedagogical development. For example, children with intellectual disabilities often experience difficulties in multi-step problems. Previous literature suggests that digital technology-enhanced learning environments not only contribute to computational thinking but might also enhance aspects of psychological and socio-pedagogical development in children from special education. For example, CT-related interventions using educational robotics improved executive functions – particularly response inhibition – in children from special education. However, little is known about how these environments can contribute to the psychological and socio-pedagogical development of children in special educational contexts. Read more
