TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS IMPROVING LEARNING OUTCOMES FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS IN BANGLADESH

This research explored the impact of using digital support and flexible technology on the educational achievements of special education learners in Bangladesh. Both qualitative and quantitative data collection methods were used in the study. Surveys and interviews were done with educators, administrators, and specialists in Faridpur and Kushtia Dstricts. Secondary data were collected from academic journals and reports regarding intervention of Information and Communication Technology in education. Research results show that the application of available tools including voice to text and improved learning programs is helpful in enhancing students’ participation and comprehension as well as increased performance. Moreover, these technologies raise motivation, ensure students’ inclusion, and offer differentiated learning depending on one’s abilities. This study points to the importance of more rigorous systematization of these technologies in specially designed instruction together with extensive teachers’ preparation to address disparities experienced by children with disabilities. These discoveries depict the possibility of increasing equity in the educational context through technology, and provide useful information for policy makers, educators, and developers who were interested in inclusive education. Recommendations for policy, practice and technology management for supporting the inclusive education for children with special needs in Bangladesh were explained in this paper.
