The article addresses the issues related to digitalization in education and in this context – using of its achievements in the inclusive education.The authors analyze the implementation of digital technologies in the educational system, the benefits and risks of digitalization. The most important advantage of digitalization is its applicability in the system of inclusive education. The common ground between the inclusive approach and the use of digital technologies in the education of people with disabilities is studied. Digitalization in the modern world also influences on the civic engagement. In addition, digital citizenship makes it possible to develop professional competencies, ethical standards of culture among the young generation, in particular, among people with disabilities.In this article, the authors study the development of psychological, pedagogical, and communicative competencies of pedagogues required in inclusive education. The approaches to the organization of advanced training for teachers in professional educational institutions are shown.Digital educational technologies have undoubted benefits. If these technologies are used correctly in educational activities, they can help pedagogues to exempt from routine work, and to facilitate the fulfillment of educational tasks for children with disabilities.

В статье рассматриваются результаты и последствия внедрения смарти нейротехнологий в инклюзивное образование. Цель работы — изучить их влияние на развитие субъектности студентов и преподавателей, применяющих цифровые технологии. Новизна исследования заключается в попытке интегративно осмыслить социально-психологические проблемы нейрообразования, связанные с внедрением и применением систем искусственного интеллекта в инклюзивном образовательном процессе, в рамках которого формируется и развивается субъектность. Изучение подводных камней нейрообразования необходимо для осмысления результатов воздействия цифровых технологий на становление и развитие обучающихся и педагогов как субъектов воспитательно-образовательного процесса. Варианты преобразования инклюзивного образования и его субъектов должны рассматриваться в контексте изменения ценностей, целей, концептов и концепций, которые определяют и трансформируют взаимоотношения человека с собой и окружающим миром. Результаты исследования показали, что нейротехнологии вызывают серьезные изменения в инклюзивном образовании, влияют на отношение человека к себе и окружающему миру и в конечном итоге могут привести к потере субъектности. Соответственно, их использование подразумевает высокую культуру инклюзивного образовательного процесса, развитие человеческих и профессиональных качеств педагогов и обучающихся. Нейрообразование может сыграть существенную роль в становлении и совершенствовании человека как субъекта при условии формирования нейросреды в контексте цифровой и общечеловеческой культуры. The article focuses on the results and consequences of the introduction of smart and neurotechnologies in inclusive education. The purpose of the study is to analyze the development of the subjectivity of students and teachers using digital technologies. The novelty of the research lies in the desire to integratively reflect on socio-psychological problems related to the introduction and application of artificial intelligence systems in an inclusive educational process, within which subjectivity is formed and developed. The study of the problems of neuroeducation is necessary for understanding the results of the impact of digital technologies on the formation and development of students and teachers as subjects of the educational process. Options for the transformation of inclusive education and its subjects should be considered in terms of changing values, goals, concepts that define and transform a person’s relationship with themselves and the world around them. Research results showed that neurotechnologies bring serious changes in inclusive education; they affect a person’s attitude towards himself or herself and the world around him or her and can eventually lead to a loss of subjectivity.They can be introduced only on the basis of a high culture of the educational process, highly developed human and digital competencies of teachers and students. Neuroeducation can play an essential role in a person’s formation and improvement as a subject provided the neuro-environment is created on the basis of digital and human culture.

The purpose of my investigation was to look into the ways digital technologies can be used in the classroom. My study was focused on the question “how can assistive technology be used in the elementary school classroom to foster inclusive education?”.  The research was conducted through the use of personal interviews, surveys, and statistical data. Results were organized using word clouds, participant quotes and graphs. My research concluded that there are many types of assistive technology that are being used in the classroom. While teachers are not always using this technology consistently, the overall perceptions of my participants were that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. These results show how essential assistive technology is for not only individual students, but a boost the morale of the entire classroom community.

The purpose of this article is to show the importance of the neurophenomenological approach for education, specifically in the digital society, where, more than ever, learning requires the co-development of our observation and analysis skills in conjunction with our abilities to design and implement actions in our surroundings in order to reduce complexity and increase our capacity for action. To this end, the connections between neurophenomenology and related theories will be firstly addressed. These theories provide us with the hermeneutical framework to introduce then some of the most relevant cognitive approaches to learning, with emphasis on new literacies related to advances in information technologies. Finally, the most relevant conclusions of the study are summarized, stressing the importance of promoting pedagogical innovations in the age of digital technologies that can facilitate inclusive education and learning environments.

This paper discusses psychological make-up of inclusive education, the importance of a barrier-free environment for physically challenged people. It looks at difficulties of obtaining university level education, problems of interpersonal communication and socialization, points out the leading role of digital technologies in the modern world and necessity of their introduction into the inclusive educational environment. Based on the results of MAI students survey we describe difficulties of communication with physically challenged peers, discuss different forms of psychological assistance inside the educational process. It turned out that contemporary youth is conscious of inclusive education problems. They are interested in removal of existing barriers and expanding social boundaries of communication including with people suffering from various health restraints. Young people also think that inadequate awareness of the problem leads to inaction and makes it impossible to give necessary psychological support to peers with special needs. The paper also discusses psychological and pedagogical support for people with special needs that can become the most accessible type of help in the future, and how introduction of digital technologies into inclusive education helps to solve main problems of their socialization and inclusion into society. We also touch an important question of the need for special correction-al training of the academic teaching staff in the inclusive education development system inside an institute of higher education.

The article identifies the cognitive and functional components of the modern teachers’ digital competence. International standards of UNESCO (ICT-CFT), digital competence framework for citizens (DigComp 2.1 and DigCompEdu) and Norwegian digital competence framework for teachers (Professional Digital Competence Framework for Teachers) are analyzed in the article. Based on the analysis of European digital competency documents, five structural elements of the cognitive and functional components of digital competence have been identified (functioning in operating systems and office applications; digital technologies for communication, collaboration, self-development, Internet safety, searching, creating, promoting and using of digital resources; digital technologies in inclusive education; academic integrity and copyright). The weight of the structural elements and their components are determined by the method of expert assessment: functioning in operating systems and office applications, communication and collaboration, safety in the digital society, search and use of digital resources, creating and promoting own digital resources, information and ability to handle data, using digital technologies in inclusive education, integrity and copyright, the usage of licensed software. The above description of the functional and cognitive components of the modern teacher's digital competence is focused on the application in postgraduate teacher education as well as in non-formal teacher education and can be the basis for the curriculum development or the tool for assessing the teacher's digital competence. It is proved that the national digital competence standards development on the basis of the European digital competence framework, the creation of an appropriate legal basis, the development of regional training programs for teachers in the field of digital technologies contribute to the teachers' digital competence and their professional development.

This book collects some of the works presented at ATEE Florence Spring Conference 2020-2021. The Conference, originally planned for May 2020, was forcefully postponed due to the dramatic insurgence of the pandemic. Despite the difficulties in this period, the Organising Committee decided anyway to keep it, although online and more than one year later, not to disperse the huge work of authors, mainly teachers, who had to face one of the hardest challenges in the last decades, in a historic period where the promotion of social justice and equal opportunities – through digital technologies and beyond – is a key factor for democratic citizenship in our societies. The Organising Committee, the University of Florence, and ATEE wish to warmly thank all the authors for their commitment and understanding, which ensured the success of the Conference. We hope this book could be, not only a witness of these pandemic times, but a hopeful sign for an equal and inclusive education in all countries.
