Voices of Primary School Teachers about the Intelligent Material System Developed for Inclusive Education

This study investigates the primary school teachers' perceptions towards the Intelligent Material System (IMS), which was developed to enhance the quality of inclusive environments and support the academic skills of students with Special Educational Needs (SEN). Within this scope, IMS training was conducted with 84 classroom teachers who worked at primary schools in Istanbul. Following the training, an open-ended questionnaire and two focus group interviews were used to collect data. The findings revealed that IMS has the potential to support the students with SEN academically, as it provides motivating and rich content, has a user-friendly interface and a desired level of accessibility despite the system's limitations and the need for improvements noted by the participants.
