Practitioners' Attitudes and Perceptions toward the Use of Augmented and Virtual Reality Technologies in the Education of Students with Disabilities
Journal of Special Education Technology, v37 n2 p286-296 Jun 2022
This study surveyed school professionals about their perceptions and attitudes toward using AR and VR in their work with children with disabilities. Survey data were collected from 257 participants in 45 states across the United States and from the Philippines. The findings indicated that very few practitioners used AR (n = 26) or VR (n = 19) in their practices, with nine participants using both AR and VR. Most of the participants who used AR or VR received training or had knowledge of how to use the technology and had technical support available. Similarly, the majority of the participants who did not use AR or VR reported a lack of training or knowledge of how to use the technology and a lack of financial resources. Participants who reported using AR were significantly younger than those who reported that they did not use AR, but there were no other significant differences between the groups.
