商品描述

Millions of young people across the world have impairments. Because of their apparent problems, these young people have typically been marginalized or excluded from schools. Studies on augmented reality applications in education for special children are still in their early stages and there is a dearth of research on the effects and implications of augmented reality in education for special children or individuals with special needs, such as intellectual disabilities, autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and physical disabilities. Technological advancements have enabled the creation of whole new learning environments, vastly expanding the breadth and sophistication of teaching and learning activities. For example, several studies have shown that virtual reality and augmented reality can help autistic people understand facial emotions and improve their social skills.

By compiling a collection of conceptual and research chapters investigating the infiltration of AR/VR into teaching and learning practices and experiences for disabled people, this book will fill a significant gap in current research literature.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

數百萬年輕人遍布全球面臨各種障礙。由於他們明顯的問題,這些年輕人通常被邊緣化或排除在學校之外。針對特殊兒童的擴增實境應用於教育的研究仍處於早期階段,且關於擴增實境在特殊兒童或有特殊需求的個體(如智力障礙、自閉症譜系障礙、注意力不足過動症和身體障礙)教育中的影響和意涵的研究相對匱乏。科技的進步使得全新的學習環境得以創造,極大地擴展了教學和學習活動的範疇與複雜性。例如,幾項研究顯示虛擬實境和擴增實境可以幫助自閉症患者理解面部情緒並改善他們的社交技能。

本書通過彙編一系列概念性和研究性章節,探討擴增實境/虛擬實境在殘障人士的教學和學習實踐及經驗中的滲透,將填補當前研究文獻中的一個重要空白。
