初探香港特殊幼兒中心運用資訊及通訊科技的現況

本文主要探討香港的特殊幼兒中心在運用資訊及通訊科技（以下簡稱ICT）予特殊幼兒學習的情況及成效。從回覆問卷的十八間中心所搜集數據及隨機抽取二間中心之二位同工作訪談的資料，結果顯示雖然香港的特殊幼兒中心運用了不同的ICT以輔助教學，從而提升有特殊需要幼兒的學習動機，不過香港大部分的特殊幼兒中心都缺乏ICT的配套，因此，本文作者建議政府須投放更多及更完善的資源，讓更多有特殊需要的幼兒能接觸適切的ICT作為輔助他們學習之其中工具。
This paper aims at exploring the current practices in the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) with children who have special needs in Hong Kong special child care centres (SCCCs). This study surveyed all Hong Kong SCCCs and interviewed two experienced personnel at SCCCs. The results of the study revealed that there were many kinds of ICT that assist teaching to enhance the learning motivation of children with special needs, however, majority of the SCCCs received inadequate support of ICT resources. Therefore, it is recommended that more ICT resources should be allocated by government to support the learning of children with special needs. Copyright © 2013 The Hong Kong Institute of Education.
