Abstract Introduction: This study raised the following problem: How reliable and relevant is the Inclusion for Children and Adolescents Questionnaire (ICAQ) to measure the attitudes of children and adolescents with cochlear implants (CIs) or hearing aids (HAs) to inclusive education (IE) in public schools in the Canary Islands (i.e. provinces of Gran Canaria and Tenerife)? Method: The sample consisted of 297 students from the province of Gran Canaria, and 137 students from the province of Tenerife with an average of 11 years old. An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) determined the reliability and relevance of ICAQ. Results: The authors found four factors of students’ attitudes towards IE: Family involvement and use of technology, Inclusion in the centre, Communication with medical specialists and Assessment of the support technology. Conclusions: There were significant differences between the students with CIs and HAs in the following factors: Inclusion in the centre and Assessment of the support technology. The total score of students’ attitudes towards IE was high. The factor Inclusion in the centre had the most favourable total score of students’ original attitudes towards IE. Communication with medical specialists was the lowest total attitude score towards IE for students with CIs.

This article proposes a common denominator among the various medieval ordinances attributed to Rabbi Gershom of Mainz (960-1028?).

Educators are constantly bombarded with a new tool or concept that it is essential to study the pros and cons of each tool before utilizing it in the classroom. Escape rooms are a new concept that is starting to emerge in a society as a recreational team sport. Bigger cities are beginning to provide people with rooms that are designed with multilevel concepts and experiences that allow them to breakout of the room. Breakout Edu is designed from these sessions offering students multilevel questions, gamifications, and using technology tools to enhance the education experience. The purpose of this paper is to review research studies to learn if using Breakout EDU in a classroom setting will improve student engagement through communication, collaboration, critical thinking, creative innovation, and confidence. The results of this study show that Breakout Edu do not just offer exposure to technology but a higher level of thinking and collaboration among peers.
