Secondary education teacher’s views on mixed reality in inclusive environments by Verónica Marín, Begoña E. Sampedro, Marina Morales-Diaz

“…Among other aspects, the results showed that the female teachers were more prone on using MR in inclusive environments. As a conclusion, it was observed that even though the use of MR can promote inclusive education, whether or not they were more promising for their use in the learning of students with diverse disabilities, difficulties, or gifted, was dependent on the discipline of the professor (experiences and beliefs), as well as gender (views).…”
