Abstract

Tele-sağlık hem uzun hem de kısa mesafelerde hizmet sağlayıcıları ve / veya alıcılar arasında fiziksel bir ayrımın olduğu durumlarda sağlık hizmetleri sunmak için bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerinin kullanılması olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Tele-sağlık, sağlık hizmetlerinin tanı, tedavi, önleyici ve iyileştirici yönlerini kapsamakta ve hizmet alıcıları, birincil ve diğer bakıcıları, uzmanları ve eğitimcileri içermektedir. Günümüzde tele-sağlık uygulamalarının en temel yararlarının, ulaşım zorluğunu ortadan kaldırması, maliyetleri düşürmesi ve esnek zaman sağlaması olduğu pek çok araştırmada belirtilmektedir. Özel eğitim genellikle geleneksel ortamlarda yüz yüze yürütülmektedir. Ancak son on yılda, farkındalığın kısmen de olsa artması ve teknolojik engellerin azalması nedeniyle tele-sağlığa olan ilgi ve talep artmıştır. Ancak Covid-19 salgını nedeniyle ani bir şekilde geleneksel eğitim ortamlarında yürütülen özel eğitim hizmetlerinin uzaktan eğitim, özellikle de tele-sağlık uygulamalarına dönüşmesi, alanda çalışan uzmanlar için zorlayıcı olmuştur. 2020 yılı içerisinde yapılmış olan araştırmalar, alan uzmanlarının tele-sağlık yoluyla özel eğitim hizmeti sunma konusunda sınırlı bilgi ve deneyime sahip olduklarını göstermektedir. Dolayısıyla bu çalışmada özel eğitimde tele-sağlık uygulamalarına ilişkin bilgi sunmak amaçlanmaktadır.

TELE-HEALTH APPLICATIONS IN SPECIAL EDUCATION

Abstract

Tele-health is defined as the use of information and communication technologies to provide health services in situations where there is a physical separation between service providers and / or recipients, both over long and short distances. Tele-health covers the diagnostic, therapeutic, preventive and curative aspects of health services and includes service recipients, primary and other caregivers, experts and educators. Today, many studies indicate that the main benefits of tele-health applications are that it eliminates transportation difficulties, reduces costs and provides flexible time. Special education is usually conducted face-to-face in traditional settings. However, in the last decade, interest and demand for tele-health have increased due to the increased awareness, albeit partially, and the reduction of technological barriers. However, due to the Covid-19 outbreak, the transformation of special education services carried out in traditional education settings into distance education, especially tele-health applications, has been challenging for experts working in the field. Studies conducted in 2020 show that field experts have limited knowledge and experience in providing special education services through tele-health. Therefore, this study aims to provide information on tele-health applications in special education.
