Inclusive Education Provision is making sure that teaching and the curriculum, school buildings, classrooms, play areas, transport and toilets are appropriate for all children at all levels. The literature pointed on limited resources, including funding, specialized staff, assistive technologies and accessible facilities as in existence in rural schools. Teachers’ preparedness has been put to question in Matabeleland schools as they seem to lack the necessary training to effectively teach students with diverse needs in their schools. The research was exploratory as no attempts were made to establish causal relationships and guided by the qualitative approach. A case study design was used to collect, present and analyse data. The population included purposively selected special schools and schools with special classes, resource units, integrated classes and inclusive classes in Matabeleland North Province. Purposive sampling was preferred and representative sample composed of ten school heads, five specialist teachers and ten parents. Open-ended questionnaires and structured interviews were used to collect and gather data respectively. The study concluded that schools have made attempts in enhancing inclusive education provisions in Matabeleland North Province, although it is important to note that there are still challenges and areas for improvement. For successful inclusion, it was concluded that the Provincial Education Office requires a comprehensive approach that involves addressing attitudinal barriers, providing adequate resources and training, promoting collaboration and ensuring accessible environments as there is no commitment to continuous improvement and on-going dialogue among all stakeholders involved in the education of students with special educational needs. The study recommended that schools need to foster an inclusive school culture that values diversity, inclusivity and respect for all students without discriminating them.

Objectives This study aims to shed light on the ethical issues of artificial intelligence and digital technologies that youth face in their daily lives in modern society, focusing on IoT and generative AI, and to examine educational ap-proaches for youth regarding these issues. Methods To achieve this, we investigated the digital ethics issues faced by teenagers through a literature review of domestic and international academic papers, policy reports, and news articles, as well as case studies from ed-ucational settings in Korea and abroad. Based on these findings, we examined student education and policy measures to address teenagers' digital ethics issues. Results The ethical issues related to different types of IoT usage are associated with the various IoT devices used by youth, and since domestic educational cases are insufficient, education needs to focus on issues such as per-sonal information protection, data security, surveillance and privacy infringement through IoT devices. Regarding generative AI, particularly language models, key concerns include AI bias, generation and dissemination of mis-information, and personal information protection issues. It was found that educational materials for youth and teachers are being developed by metropolitan and provincial offices of education in South Korea and overseas non-profit foundations. Conclusions AI and digital ethics education should go beyond mere prohibition and control, focusing on developing students' ability to make proper judgments voluntarily. Education for youth is needed on issues such as copyright of AI-generated content, and misuse and abuse of data.

언어 네트워크 분석기법을 통한 생태(환경)교육 기본계획 문서 분석

Objectives The main purpose of this study is to determine what the key words are in the basic plans for ecological(environmental) education created by provincial offices of education and what the relationships are between those words. In addition, this study was conducted to determine whether the documents of the provincial office of education contain the value of ecological transformation in education.

 Conclusions The conclusions of this study are as follows. First, The use of ‘practice’ and ‘carbon neutrality’ as key words in the basic plans for ecological (environment) education should be maintained in the future. At this time, educational activities at the cognitive and affective levels should also be treated with great importance in the document. Second, since ecological transformation education and ecological environment education form different clusters, each documents must establish a mutually cooperative and complementary relationship.
