It was a non-experimental, quantitative, descriptive cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of 69 teachers, selected in a non-probabilistic, intentional, and voluntary manner. The survey technique was used through a questionnaire, validated by experts, and applied through links on the institutions' platforms. The data were quantitatively processed with Microsoft Excel 2010. As results we found the usefulness of educational strategies for students with visual disabilities, the consideration that adapted furniture and folding tables were beneficial stood out. Most teachers pointed out the lack of adequacy of furniture and infrastructure. The training received to teach blind children found aspects such as special didactics, reading and writing in Braille, extremely useful. They expressed the need to receive more training. Significant Curriculum Adaptations were considered extremely useful. The importance of respect, tolerance, and general awareness around special education was highlighted. Regarding inserting children with blindness problems into the official educational system, most teachers agreed with being active participants in the learning process. We conclude on the critical need for comprehensive teacher preparation, the availability of adequate resources, the implementation of inclusive strategies, and the promotion of positive attitudes to guarantee the academic success.</p>2024-03-19T08:06:00-07:00Copyright (c) 2024 Gerardo Armando Picónhttps://www.macrothink.org/journal/index.php/jet/article/view/21782Transformations in Learning Spaces -Impact of Mobile Technologies on Student Learning2024-03-21T05:53:55-07:00Lata Ranalrana@unitec.ac.nz<p>As a result of innovation in technology, social media and mobile devices have changed the face of teaching and learning. The use of tools such as Facebook, Twitter, Blogs and Short Messaging Services (SMS) are continuing to grow with informal learning taking place outside formal educational settings. This paper draws on research conducted at a private tertiary institute and presents findings from the study. The focus of this study was to determine the learning that occurs through informal learning networks and how these support and enhance learning and wellbeing, particularly amongst international students. The research considers the implications of how teaching and learning are impacted by social and informal networking in the digital world.</p>2024-03-21T00:00:00-07:00Copyright (c) 2024 Lata Rana
