Authors: Iwai Kio
Published: March 2024

Hearing impairment generally poses challenges in communication, and still more in a foreign language. Meanwhile, globalization has increased motivation among hard-of-hearing students to enhance their English communication skills. This chapter explores strategies employed to accommodate the specific needs of a hearing-impaired student in an English discussion class. It identifies six primary barriers: information reception, conversational pace, communication breakdown, seating arrangements, assignments, and student anxieties. The chapter thoroughly explores the accommodations provided by various stakeholders, such as the institution, the teacher, support students, classmates, and the hearing-impaired student. Success in eliminating these barriers relies on a collaborative commitment of time and effort from all involved parties. To further support hearing-impaired students, it is recommended that classroom time pressures be alleviated to ensure that all students have sufficient time to express themselves effectively.

Published: March 2024

As we all see the world through our particular filter of experience, we are often not aware of why others react as they do in classrooms. Does a student suddenly not being interactive mean they are off-task, or could it be that they are actively processing what they learned? Teacher awareness of, along with the modeling of inclusive practices, profoundly changes who does and doesn’t feel welcome at school. How long students remain at school has a profound influence on their social, physical, economic and general future. This chapter includes examples of what barriers, hidden or other, students face. Some personal examples are provided on how it feels to be neurodiverse. There are also common situations that can occur in classrooms that teachers should be aware of. Key definitions about used in both Japan and other countries. The learning environment in Japan is changing quickly due to the implementation of the Global Information Gateway for All (GIGA School initiative.) Some introductory comments on why this is a very positive step for people with neurodiversity are included.

Authors: DHEYAA AL-SAMMARRAİE Zainab , KARACA Ali Can
Published: March 2024

To extract valuable information from satellite data for applications such as agriculture, geological research, and environmental monitoring, the classification of hyperspectral images is an essential task. Labeling each pixel in this process is time-consuming and requires financial resources. To this end, working with a small number of samples is very important. In order to provide high classification performances with a limited number of samples, this paper aims to enhance the performance with an active learning framework. The framework incorporates dimensionality reduction, an edge-preserving filter, and active learning steps. From this perspective, we investigated different edge-preserving filter methods to analyze the effects on performance. By combining edge-preserving filters with dimensionality reduction, the study presents a unique method that improves classification performance while maintaining image quality and reducing noise. The following five edge-preserving smoothing filters are evaluated: weighted least squares (WLS), Joint-Histogram weighted median filter (Joint WMF), fast global image smoother (FGS), bilateral filter (BF), and static/dynamic (SD). Our experiments demonstrate that compared to the reference research (CNN+AL+MRF), the proposed framework increased overall and average accuracies about 2-5% for Indian Pines, Pavia University, and Salinas datasets.
