Abstract
Nowadays, digital technology is playing an increasingly important role in classrooms. This is also the case in remedial education, where remedial teachers work with students who are experiencing literacy difficulties. Remedial teachers are specialized educators who work, most often individually or in small groups, with students who are experiencing learning difficulties. These interventions address reading, writing, mathematics, executive functions, and training in assistive technologies, among other things. These interventions can also be enhanced through digital technology. For example, speech synthesis can support students in reading, while concept maps help them plan their writing. Schools also provide digital games designed for students with special needs, enabling them to develop targeted skills. In order to explore the use of digital technology in remedial education on a daily basis with students, eight remedial teachers working with children and adolescents participated in a one-hour interview to discuss their daily practices. The questions focused on their perceptions of the impact of these tools on learning, the role of digital technology in their work, examples of student success associated with technology, and the potential impact of artificial intelligence. In addition to providing context and a theoretical framework, the poster details the methodology and highlight the key findings from these discussions.
