Abstract

The current research paper proposes a framework of Engaging Special-needs Children through the applications of ICT learning design. While Many Special educational institutes in India are pioneering in developing newer teaching-learning frameworks, it has been observed that Engaging Special-needs Children and developing their skills and knowledge becomes a challenge and a task. Thus, researchers in the current research have articulated the need for engaging special-needs children through ICT enabled learning design. Researchers have used a mixed research method of quantitative and qualitative approach. The analysis of the research divided into three categories firstly using correlation analysis for individual aspects, which are establishing strong and weak relationships among them, secondly, examining different demissions of factor analysis and thirdly grouping of Special educators under cluster analysis indicating their propinquities and similarities. The propinquities of special educators are generic, bundled, high-performing ICT enabled learning design. The outcome of the findings has indicated the applications of ICT enabled learning design among the special educators are viewed in two ways: Teachers with ICT skills have higher performance, Teachers with poor ICT skills are using ICT skills sparingly. Thus, the research has proposed a number of alternatives namely learning-teaching design programs, acquiring more ICT enabled skills and knowledge to empower special-needs children.
