Abstract

This study aims to examine the experiences of special teachers who conducted teaching and learning activities using artificial intelligence technology for students with disabilities in elementary, middle, and high school courses. To this end, in-depth interviews were conducted on how artificial intelligence technology-based classes were conducted with six incumbent special teachers who conducted related educational activities in the actual special education field, as well as on their educational effectiveness and improvements. As a result of analyzing the interview data through systematic comparative analysis, 3 topics, 6 sub-themes, and 18 concepts were derived. As a result of the study, first, the research participants said that there was an opportunity to use artificial intelligence technology for teaching and learning activities in special education. Second, the research participants highly appreciated the possibility of education using artificial intelligence technology in the special education field as well as the positive effect it on the education of students with disabilities. Third, the research participants noted the limitations they experienced when teaching while using artificial intelligence technology in the special education field and suggested opinions on how to improve the use of existing artificial intelligence technology in the special education field. Based on these research results, effective ways to utilize artificial intelligence technology in the special education field in accordance to the changing times were discussed. In addition, it was suggested that various empirical studies on the contents derived from this study, as well as the development and effectiveness of specific teaching and learning programs, are necessary.
