Adaptive Learning Environments: Integrating Artificial Intelligence for Special Education Advances

2024 , Jadán Guerrero, Janio , Karla Tamayo-Narvaez , Elena Méndez , María Valenzuela

Students with special educational needs are confronted with various barriers that restrict their learning and performance in the educational environment. The lack of accessible and adapted educational resources tailored to their needs based on their disability negatively impacts their ability to interact effectively with both teachers and peers. In this context, Artificial Intelligence emerges as a promising solution to overcome some of these educational barriers by offering personalized tools, speech recognition technologies, and text-to-voice conversion technologies that allow students with disabilities to communicate seamlessly. Artificial Intelligence not only addresses the challenges mentioned previously but also opens up new possibilities for more effective learning and an enriching educational experience. The integration of these technologies could represent a significant advancement towards the creation of more accessible and egalitarian educational environments. This article focuses on identifying challenges from the perspective of teachers and parents, proposing the implementation of adapted educational resources using artificial intelligence. To establish a reference base for the needs and problems of students, a survey was conducted with the participation of 66 teachers and 112 parents in two developing countries, Ecuador and Guatemala. The results obtained offer an opportunity to improve student education by identifying possible solutions in adapting resources and promoting inclusion through the implementation of Artificial Intelligence. A recurring challenge in both countries is the lack of adequate infrastructure, specialized tools, inclusive methodologies, and software to facilitate the learning process in educational institutions.

2023 , Jadán Guerrero, Janio , Avilés-Castillo, Fátima , Buele, Jorge , Palacios-Navarro G.

Given the growing attention to the intersection between technology and education, gamification has emerged as a strategy with great benefits. This bibliometric review addresses gamification’s current and future relevance in the educational field, focusing on its use as a pedagogical strategy to improve the learning and engagement of children with disabilities. Sixty-six studies published between 2001 and 2023 were analyzed, evaluating the most influential articles, main keywords, prominent authors, collaborating institutions, and funding sources. The literature suggests that gamification offers inclusive and personalized learning opportunities covering various disabilities. Methodologies and approaches to implement gamification were identified, including game elements, user-centered design techniques, and emerging technologies such as virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and educational robotics. However, challenges and areas for improvement were also found, such as the need for more long-term empirical evidence and the importance of considering individual differences and specific needs when designing gamification strategies. The review highlights the importance of strengthening collaborative networks between researchers and education professionals to disseminate best practices and promote more effective gamification approaches adapted to the needs of children with disabilities. Collaboration between educators, game developers, researchers, and parents are crucial to ensure that gamification efforts are inclusive and meet the diverse needs of students. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

2024 , Quezada-Sarmiento, Pablo Alejandro , Patricia Marisol Chango-Cañaveral , Jadán Guerrero, Janio , Washikiat Pedro Tsere-Juma

Higher education through virtual environments is centered on the student, oriented towards interactive learning, in situations that are close to the real world, for which teachers require new communicative, non-verbal skills and an innovative approach to learning, which will accompany their students. Students in the complex process of acquiring even more knowledge of a non-native language. In the same context, the use of open-source technology platforms is becoming the best way to deliver solutions that meet the current need for the process of acquiring an ancestral language, so in this document we will focus on the analysis and use of Cloud Computing Tools as an alternative to complementary material to improve writing skills in the process of Second Language Acquisition (SLA) in our case Shuar Chicham. Likewise, teachers should not focus only on online learning but also on interaction with students as Gibson (1993) states; thus, innovative technologies must be means that help reduce the digital technological gap, allowing solutions, answers and agile questions to be given within the teaching-learning process, which is visible with the use of cloud computing tools. Therefore, using cloud computing tools it was proposed to demonstrate if writing skills can be improved in students who learned Shuar Chicham basic.

The problems in judicial management persist regarding the applicability of artificial intelligence (AI) systems. Currently, they have become a challenge as they lack legal foundation and legitimacy, given that to date, only a minimal number of countries have laws addressing the supervision, regulation, management, and control of AI system applicability in judicial settings. The objective of this research is to analyze the future perspectives of the applicability of Artificial Intelligence in Judicial Management. The method employed will be exploratory research to analyze information from reviewed articles, legal reports, and official websites. Possible indicators of issues in AI applicability in judicial management, current and future trends of AI in judicial management, and an appropriate conceptual model for AI applicability in judicial management were identified. It was concluded that the application of artificial intelligence in judicial management remains a challenge and an ongoing issue because it currently does not inspire confidence in decision-making processes.

Young children as well as children with special educational needs learn from their environment with social, emotional and physical stimuli. In this context, educational resources and teaching strategies play a main role for them in order to understand the new information. This paper describes the experience of building hybrid interfaces that combine technology with traditional educational resources. A total of 60 teachers divided in two groups completed some tasks which consisted of generating new educative resources with tecnology. Through Design Thinking methodology, teachers designed three hybrid interfaces: 1. Interactive books, combining traditional fairy tales books with mobile devices, where QR codes and NFC tags give life to the stories; 2. Educational Board Games, where augmented reality markers give an extra information to the players; 3. Tangible educational resources, which integrate Makey-Makey device and Scratch with fruit, clay, aluminum foil or water to build laboratory. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.
