| Abstract | Students with multiple disabilities often experience difficulties in learning science due to the abstract nature of scientific concepts and their individual learning characteristics. However, technologies that are individualised according to both the characteristics of the content and students' individual needs can facilitate learning in educational settings. Accordingly, the present study aimed to examine special education teachers' perspectives on science teaching and the technologies used to support science teaching for students with multiple disabilities. A qualitative case study design was employed. The participants consisted of ten special education teachers who worked with students with multiple disabilities. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analysed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed special education teachers' perspectives on science teaching as well as the technologies they utilised to support science teaching for students with multiple disabilities. |
