摘要

The potential of technology for supporting educational processes of participation, collaboration and creation is widely accepted. Likewise have digital tools proved to enhance learning processes for disabled learners. A currently topical group, politically and educationally, in the discourse of inclusion is learners with extensive developmental and attention deficit disorders. This paper investigates the potential of technology for supporting the inclusion of this group in the general school system, i.e. into mainstream classes, using technology as a tool to join, participate and contribute - and as a vehicle for general human growth in their learning community. The paper presents the primer results and describes and discusses the challenges of both teachers' and learners', involved in the inclusion process. Finally, on the basis of findings, a typology of tools is suggested, which may support inclusive teaching and learning for the target group in question. In 2012 the Danish Government passed a law on inclusion, which requested public schools in Denmark to include 97% of all learners in the mainstream education system. As a consequence, many learners, who earlier visited special schools and had Special Educational Needs (SEN) teachers, now had to be included in mainstream classes with mainstream teachers. This is a challenge for the schools, for the SEN learners, for the mainstream learners and for the teachers involved. While pointing to the lack of specific tools as well as competences in teachers for handling inclusion of children with extensive developmental and attention deficit disorders, school leaders and teachers are looking for new ways to handle this challenge. It's a very broad group of SEN learners, who appears to have learning problems and struggling with problems such as: Lack of attention, selective and continuing attention and response inhibition as well as lacking ability for planning, promoting, strategic thinking, change in attention, flexibility in working memory, self-regulation and self-monitoring.The investigation, on which this present piece of research is based, is part of a work package in a wider research project, ididact, which employs ICT as a vehicle in the challenge of inclusion of learners with extensive developmental and attention deficit disorders (focus learners) in mainstream schools. In sum, our research on ICT as a vehicle for inclusions indicates: i) interventions with ICT have high impact on physical and academic inclusion, while less so on social inclusion; ii) using ICT for shielding, focusing, structuring and ovetviewing helps focus learners to join, participate, and maintain attention, while to some extent avoiding conflicts; iii) specific planning and strict time schedules for lessons and activities, supported by digital assignments in LMS/VLE systems enhance participation, attention and self-monitoring in task solving; iv) use of ICT enhance comprehension, differentiation, production, dissemination and compensation and promote the learners' abilities to participate and contribute; v) the teacher's knowledge of the learners' special needs, and the teachers' use of the five types of interventions did have a positive effect in terms of supporting focus learners' to participate more equally in the classroom. While our pre/post test showed no significant progress in the learner's social and pro-social behaviour, no indication was found of ICT interventions having an impact on social inclusion. This paper finalizes by suggesting an ICT-pedagogical strategy containing a typology of tools and interventions: Structure & Overview, Shielding & Focus, Comprehension & Differentiation, Production & Dissemination, Collaboration & Knowledge Building. Utilizing this typology in the pedagogical strategy is likely to enhance the process of inclusion in classrooms of learners with extensive developmental and attention disorders.
