“…In being as comprehensive as possible in the identification of primary evidence of the practicalities of time and funding constraints (Kenny et al, 2013), several systematic reviews on preparedness in educational organizations in crisis times were screened beforehand to identify key search words used (Weiner et al, 2008;World Health Organization (WHO), 2011;Javed and Niazi, 2015;Staupe-Delgado and Kruke, 2017;Patel et al, 2020;Begičević Ređep, 2021;Carrión-Martínez et al, 2021;Ceballos et al, 2021;ElSaheli-Elhage, 2021;Giannouli et al, 2021;Guterres, 2021;Keskin et al, 2021;Khanal et al, 2021;Kundu and Bej, 2021;Montanari et al, 2021;Ng et al, 2021). These keywords were pooled, systematized, and added to the key search terms of the current research.…”

“…The educational programs were also affected by the transition of the education system into an emergency online teaching mode (Hill et al, 2020;Korkmaz and Toraman, 2020;Poletti, 2020;Montanari et al, 2021). Although this change has been considered a positive large-scale digital innovation, the sudden change was found to challenge the quality of learning with the teaching lacking interactive content suitable for digital platforms and online learning (Alhammadi, 2021;Green and Sheyapo, 2021;Pasani et al, 2021).…”

BackgroundThe impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on educational systems has caused a profound shift in the organization and delivery of education worldwide. The effects of the pandemic crisis on educational systems proved to be detrimental for students with disabilities, highlighting not only the looming social and educational inequalities but also the huge gap in organizational preparedness for education, including identifying the main areas (domains) of preparedness that guide the process of organizational preparedness and the sub-themes (indicators) per domain that help educational organizations to evaluate their level of preparedness and to identify potential gaps and set priorities for preparedness planning.MethodsScoping review with thematic analysis was performed on literature published from 2010 to 2022. Six scientific databases (PsycInfo, Web of Science, Eric, Scopus, Proquest, JSTOR) and one academic search engine (Google Scholar) were examined in order to identify publications (peer-reviewed and preprint) in English. The search strategy and robust eligibility criteria were defined by the authors, who also performed screening of the papers, eligibility decisions, and key data extractions. A thematic analysis was applied to define the organizational preparedness domains and indicators per domain, informed by a system thinking approach for educational organizations. Conflicts were collaboratively resolved after each step. All members of the research team were involved in the data synthesis.ResultsFrom 1,564 publications identified, 216 were included in the final analysis. Six domains and 14 indicators were identified.ConclusionThe organizational preparedness in educational organizations in pandemic crisis times needs to be prioritized in the educational policy agenda, drawing special attention on students with disabilities. The identified preparedness domains and indicators may guide the policy dialogue and inform accordingly a system thinking change approach in education and disability.

This study examined people’s sentiments toward emergency online special education after mass vaccinations became available to determine whether people had positive, negative, or neutral sentiments towards emergency online special education. The results revealed that most tweets were positive and focused on special needs and special education during emergency online special education. Specifically, most tweets focused on special education, and they included a positive content with average daily sentiment scores never getting smaller than zero. Similarly, special need and special education turned out to be the most frequent expressions used, and topic modeling indicated that target tweets’ content focused on the needs of students with special exceptionalities. All these findings suggest that emergency online special education can be a viable alternative during times of crisis and availability of vaccinations at a larger scale may help to create a positive atmosphere thereby informing teacher education and special education research and practice.
