Fostering an Inclusive Educational Culture: Developing Teachers’ Understanding and Competence
Аннотация
This paper explores the development of an inclusive educational culture through the integration of next-generation wired and wireless technologies. The study aims to identify how digital platforms, AI-based tools, and collaborative online environments can enhance teachers’ understanding and competence in promoting inclusivity. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining a comprehensive literature review with qualitative case studies from technology-supported schools. Results indicate that technological frameworks such as Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and IoT-based smart classrooms significantly improve teacher readiness and adaptive teaching practices. The findings suggest that strategic adoption of these technologies fosters a more inclusive, equitable, and responsive educational environment. Implications for professional development and policy implementation are discussed.
