背景和目的这项定性研究的目的是获得有关教育专业人员的信息（即，课堂教师和言语语言病理学家）对自闭症谱系障碍（CWASD）儿童课堂使用平板电脑技术的看法。方法：来自CWASD特殊日制学校的17名教育专业人员参加了四个焦点小组之一，这些小组提供了有关使用平板电脑的背景、实施平板电脑的挑战以及如何最有效地使用平板电脑的观点的信息和见解。结果从数据中出现了四个相互关联的主题，包括参与者的观点，涉及：（a）片剂的独特用途;（B）与片剂使用相关的挑战和挑战行为;（c）挑战的因果因素;（d）片剂的价值，以及持续使用片剂的愿望和奉献精神;结论和影响-本研究的结果表明，教育专业人士有独特的和有见地的意见，平板电脑。目前CWASD中平板电脑使用的研究基础与“真实的世界”实践之间似乎存在差距，这表明在CWASD教室中实施平板电脑需要进一步研究。
Background and aims This qualitative study was conducted to obtain information regarding education professionals’ (i.e., classroom teachers’ and speech-language pathologists’) perspectives about tablet technology use in classrooms of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (CWASD). Methods Seventeen education professionals from a special day school for CWASD participated in one of four focus groups that provided information and insight regarding the context in which tablets are being used, challenges in implementing tablets, and perspectives on how tablets can be used most effectively. Results Four interrelated themes emerged from the data including the participants’ perspectives related to: (a) the distinct uses of tablets; (b) challenges and challenging behavior associated with tablet use; (c) causal factors of the challenges; and (d) the value of tablets, and the continued desire and dedication to using the tablets; Conclusions and implications The results from this study suggest that education professionals have unique and insightful opinions related to tablets. There appears to be gaps between the current research base on tablet use in CWASD and “real world” practice, suggesting that further research is needed in the implementation of tablets in classrooms of CWASD.
